Hello,

How can i'm Pi-star change password?
Now the first password is in Pi-star i wil change this into a more difficult password hihi
but i do not know how t do this.

tnx Rien, PA7RA

Do you mean the password to pi-star server? or the password for hotspot security?
If you go to the "Configuration" page you can changes the Pi-Star log in password to whatever you want.
The default is raspberry.

Hotspot security is in the DMR Configuration section of the Configuration page.

I cannot access my Pi-Star Hotspot.
I must have changed the Password, and probably the User Name?
But I don't remember what I changed it to, as it was over a year ago...

Please can anyone tell me how I can access my Hotspot?
When I try to access it via it's IP address, it requests a User Name and Password when I try to get anywhere beyond the Front Page.

Try pi-star as the user name.

Password is more difficult.

Its going to be much easier to reburn and reconfigure a new image onto ur sd card than its going to be trying to recover ur login credentials.

Thank you all.

I thought the best option was to re-image the SD Card too.

But I have just had a last ditch attempt at some obscure passwords that I might have used a year or two ago, and one really obscure password worked!

I have surreptitiously just updated it to something more rememberable to me today. So let's hope I don't forget it in years to come.

It is possible to change the password without re-imaging.
It is located in the file /var/www/.htpasswd within SD Card file system.
Just mount the card on your Linux or MacOS system (I'm not familiar with Windows) and execute htpasswd /path/to/var/www/.htpasswd pi-star command.
You'll be prompted for the new password twice.
Then put the card back to the RPi and log in. You may want to change the password again to something else the regular way, so the system password also gets updated.
