MiSTer FPGA Forum

I'm trying to connect MiSTer to my windows 10 PC trough SMB, the PC correctly recognizes the username as "root" but the password "1" doesn't work.

F9 on the MiSTer accepts the "1" password, I can freely use the terminal. Could it be that only the SMB password has changed? Is there a way to check, maybe something like "smb.conf"?

How do you know that username root is recognized?

If you are going to connect from your MiSTer to your Windows PC using SMB then you have to use an username and a password
of an existing and enabled user account on your PC.

If you are going to connect from the PC to the MiSTer and you have SMB enabled then root/1 should work.

Because the popup window that asks you for the password says "root" right after the IP address

You mean from the MiSTer terminal? I'm not doing that.

Yes, I'm on windows explorer on my PC, I inputted MiSTer's IP into the address bar and windows asked me for a password.

P.S. Now that I think about it, it's strange that Windows already knows the user, it usually asks for it.

Update: now that I think about it, the only changes I did to my configuration was to run "update_all" and I added an external HDD. Could one of these be the cause?

Also, is there a command to reset/change the password?

The Password on the MiSTer Side is set in See also the Wiki Article: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Samba

As you are accessing your MiSTer from your Windows PC it's possible you saved the password at this end.
