The biggest problem is if you have been using a standard password in the beginning as had the machine accessible globally via internet.
You will have to reset to factory settings as most probably you have malware on it.

Hi - The ORIGINAL SD Card with MinePeon installed did have the default password.  Once I was hacked (the first time) - I switched out an ENTIRELY NEW SD Card with MinePeon reinstalled -- with a VERY secure password (25 char+) --  The Hacker is back -- and seems to have broken that one too.

The Butterfly miner that I purchased originally came with an android tablet interface - but the seller replaced that with this Raspberry Pi device because it works better. And it does, and I truly trust the seller - he has bent over backwards to get me up and mining --- as well as advice and an education.  I truly do not believe it is him.

As to the other poster - I do not have any keyboard or monitor hooked up to the miner or raspberry pi -- I bring a monitor and keyboard when I go to the NOC (Hosting facility) --

Basically - I'm looking for advice on how to set up a firewall device -- what Exactly to purchase and how to configure it.. Seriously - any suggestions or advice is welcome.

Thank you!
