Headless Raspberry Pi installation, ssh not allowed

Tue Jun 02, 2020 7:12 pm

I've just downloaded and burned an image on a SD card; I've already had an "ssh" file in /boot for this SD. When the pi booted up, I attempted to use ssh, but the message that displayed:

SSH is enabled and the default password for the 'pi' user has not been changed.
This is a security risk - please login as the 'pi' user and type 'passwd' to set a new password.

I don't intend on having a display or keyboard with this Pi. Is there a way to login or configure the installation so that I CAN login to change the password for the user pi?

Thanks

See my reply in your other thread. The messages are telling you what to do.

Yes...but he has to log in to do that. See my comment in the other thread.
