Guys what was the solution for the situation when nvoc0017 at login asks for m1 user password but it doesn't accept miner1 ? i remember someone posted 40-50 pages ago a solution for remote access tackling of this issue, but in my case i am using the PC locally.
Reflashed the usb thumb drive 4 times already, it was working fine for several months before and would show this screen only after power button would be used to turn the pc off suddenly . Now every time I start from the flash drive it goes to the m1 login window.
I think best is to update to latest versions
Will see how the 19.1.4 behaves, nvoc17 has been rock solid for months on my computers mining zec or nicehash equihash, did not need any babysitting at all. Several attempts to run v19 before lead to issues with random restarts due to some scripts messing around, tried to identify but could not make it work stable so used v17 all along. i usually put manual fans setting, individual clocks and individual power and no automatic temp /power control .
