Root level password on ZimaOS SSH

Does anyone had issues login as root and I tried enter password and no luck as default password?

I faced a similar situation after reinstalling ZimaOS on my Zimaboard2. I believe the user is in the sudo group, so using:

sudo passwd root

and entering the users password should allow you to then set the root password.

There is no universal default root password on current ZimaOS installations.

Enable SSH Access under Settings → General → Developer Mode, then connect using your normal ZimaOS username and password. After login, switch to root with:

sudo -i

Enter the same ZimaOS user password when prompted.

Running:

sudo passwd root

may set a root password, but it does not necessarily enable direct SSH login as root. Using the normal user account followed by sudo -i is the preferred method.

If login still fails, please post the exact SSH command and error message, with any IP address or username redacted if required.
