Accessing LibreELEC - LibreELEC The Wiki exists for a reason.
yep, its
root@<your.ip>
PW: libreelec
and the wiki has videos now \o/
Okay I seem to be having a problem here that i cant find the answer to.
The SSH password: libreelec does not work.
I have tried log in as root@<ip> i have tried just typing root and still the password doesnt work.
i have seen that sometime it doesnt show you typing out the password for security reasons and that i can understand but it the password simply doesnt work.
idk what to do.
@ geonet2001
When typing the password it won't show what you are typing.
Make sure you are typing exactly this "libreelec" without quotes and all lowercase.
Also make sure SSH is enabled in the LibreELEC settings and do not enable "Disable SSH Password".

Different user, same issue. I do not have "Disable SSH Password" checked in the setting menu, and when I attempt to connect, I use 'libreelec' as the password and it does not work. I just get "permission denied, please try again."

Can we have more info on what you tried?
-Devices you ssh from and to, on the same network?
-Are you using latest PuTTY?
-Verified you are using the correct LibreELEC device's IP address in PuTTY?
Open PuTTY and try these settings;
-In "Session" select SSH, type the device IP address, "Port 22".
-In "Connection->Data" type "root" in Auto-Login and select "Prompt"
-Back to Session click to highlight "Default Settings" and click "Save" on the right.
-Click "Open" and type password "libreelec"

I'm on the same network, at home. I know my devices IP address, and besides I wouldn't even get a password prompt if it didn't connect. The computer I am remoting from is Arch Linux and I am not using PuTTY, I'm just using ssh in the terminal.
And isn't port 22 the default for SSH?
I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't enable SSH when I initially installed LibreElec. But how do I check that?
In the LibreELEC settings addon.
BTW if ssh is not enabled on LibreELEC you should have this answer:
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refusedOK tried all that was posted. Still not getting in.
I'm using putty release 0.67
SSH is running on libreelec and I typed in the password multiple times and still getting the access denied prompt
Just in case this matters I'm using libreelec on my odriod c2
Whose C2 build? Try "le" for the password.
idk what you mean by whose C2 build but the password worked!!! thank you!!!!
Must be wrxtasy builds....
If someone ever comes across this old topic, I´d like to add something that people may not have realized.. It´s in the putty gui´s host field where you want to type root@ip. Then it will prompt for password next. So don´t simply put the ip address in the host field, where you then will be prompted for both login and password. Should you wish to do it that way, then ONLY type root in the loginname field - not the @ip part.
The first time Libreelec starts it asks if ssh is required. If it's not done in that menu, it won't do it later
Well, reading some posts I found that the way to connect is:
root@<your.ip> and password.
I set a new password but when I type the password the message "Acces denied" is shown. This means that the connection is stablished and the user recognised but, what I cannot access if the password is correct?
