Hello,

I just got a beagle bone black Rev C (4G). I am able to navigate to 196.168.7.2 in the browser but cannot ssh in. I tried it using windows 8.1 and Linux Mint VM (with the usb mounted and unmounted . The response when using Linux is the following:

ssh -vvv 198.168.7.2 -l root@beaglebone

Try logging in as the regular user “debian” with “temppwd” as the password. Debian is / can be, by default rather pedantic when it comes to security. Which honestly in the case, is a good call.

sudo ssh root@192.168.7.2 worked
