Planning on using multiple BBB’s, and for reasons of security, I wish to change the default usernames and passwords. Password fairly simple, but, the username is associated with, at least, the base folder structure and surely a bunch more which I can not imagine.
Is there a reasonable way to change the username? I do have Linux experience, but with linux there is no default username during install. TY in advance for any info
Hello. I’m brand new to this forum and to Beaglebone. We are this problem also and I wondered if you solved it or got any responses elsewhere? In our project it is important to be able to specify the default username and password.
Thank you.
As root…
usermod -l newuser debian
usermod -m -d /home/newuser newuser
Regards,
