Assuming you’ve enabled SSH already and got as far as being asked for a password to login for the pi user, but it’s being rejected and saying Access Denied.

For some reason my pi user default password was not ‘raspberry’ and I couldn’t tell what it was.

When changing the password in the terminal, if you’re running:

• sudo passwd

this actually changes the root user password!

Running the following with sudo will allow you to change the ‘pi’ user password without knowing the original password:

• sudo passwd pi

If you try ssh using the user pi, the password should now be accepted

Hope this helps you out!
