Username and password for SSH?

Whats’ the default username and password for SSHing in to alpha 4? I can connect - but the standard pi/raspberry is rejected.

username: osmc
password: osmc

This didn’t work for me. I accepted a random name addition (“osmc_xxxxxx”) and osmc does not work for the password, nor does the username noted afore. What am I doing wrong?

Can you explain a bit more what you mean with this? And furthermore what you are actually trying to achieve?

Are you referring to walkthrough when you first start osmc, where it asks language, time zone, etc ?
If so,that name has nothing to do with the ssh login or password.

The ssh login and password listed above by guran is correct.

As fzinken says, post exactly what you are trying to do, and the exact commands you are using, and we can try figure out where you are going wrong.

Hi, I have installed OSMC in Rpi2 and that login and password don’t work for me too. :\

How are you trying to access OSMC, describe in detail.
osmc as user and password are default unless you change it

I try to access in Nemo File Manager (when I launch openELEC on my Pi it works). I choose ssh connction, type IP 192.168.0.18 and port 22, then login: osmc and password osmc.

When I try to access from terminal:

przemek@przemek-SATELLITE:~$ ssh 192.168.0.18

Also when I go to network places in file manager I have message that key to osmc.local are different than for IP 192.168.0.18 contact with system administrator and ask for password I write osmc and can access to samba shares of osmc (only Movies, TV Shows, Music and Pictures)

It works, thanks :smiley:

I reset the username to osmc and everything to do with SSH is doing fine now, thanks!
