Hi all.

I'm having password changing issues outside of the Minera WEBUI.
In Minera v3.5 why am I not able to change the TUI password from the default of "minera" to something else?
I used to be able to with previous versions upto v3.4 using sudo passwd command with no problemo.
When executing the "sudo passwd minera" command I get the prompt to enter the new password twice, it then tells me: "passwd: password updated successfully". I logout, log back in & it refuses to accept the new password. If I go back & try to log in with the default password of "minera" all is fine. I've gone as far as re-downloading a new image of Minera v3.5 & reimaging it onto previously used & new 8GB SD cards.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm sorry but are you trying to change the WEB password with "sudo passwd minera"? That doesn't change the WEB password, that should change only the SSH/SystemUser password.

If you are trying to change the system password, then you are doing some mistake, it's not possible that doesn't work. May be are you changing the root password instead?
Try to login with user minera and the do only "passwd".

Hi Michelem.
I should of made it clearer. I am trying to change the root/system password, not the WEB UI password.
I have tried what you suggested. The problem is that when I change the password either via SSH or at the console itself, after receiving a "password changed successfully" confirmation I log out & log back using the new password, no problem. But if I reboot, the password is somehow being changed back to the default, "minera".
