Why is Jessie asking for a password? - Raspberry Pi Forums

i have been banging head against problem few days, now.

downloaded https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest , wrote .img 32gb microsd card. mounted card on backbox laptop & altered /boot/ config.txt & cmdline.txt (as per instructions on http://blog.gbaman.info/?p=791), unmounted card, plugged raspberry pi 0 & plugged pi0's usb port laptop. tweaked laptop's network config, share connection pi0 & can see pi0 gets ip address: -

code: select all

% ifconfig enp0s20u1 enp0s20u1 link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 5e:95:da:6b:6a:52             inet addr:10.42.0.1  bcast:10.42.0.255  mask:255.255.255.0           inet6 addr: fe80::1b10:3e40:e674:b15a/64 scope:link           broadcast running multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1           rx packets:245 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           tx packets:415 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000            rx bytes:22393 (22.3 kb)  tx bytes:66388 (66.3 kb) 

when try ssh ip, permission denied messages (using pi:raspberry combo & when using known incorrect passwords): -

code: select all

% ssh pi@10.42.0.1 pi@10.42.0.1's password:  permission denied, please try again. pi@10.42.0.1's password:  permission denied, please try again. pi@10.42.0.1's password:  permission denied (publickey,password). 

i tried mounting sd card , adding ssh key pi user's ~pi/.ssh/authorized_keys, have in existing pis, no avail.

hope don't flack thread stealing, think it's same scenario, or near dammit, may help.

address isn't pi. laptop. pi @ other end of connection , have different address, starting 10.42.0. try ssh pi@10.42.0.2 start. (i approve of choice of .42 subnet ).

will! that's 1 of main forum rules here. i'll tag , ask mods split off own thread.
it's easier start new post if unsure.
