I install YunoHost v4.1.7.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Monitor and Keyboard…
I set the local domain and admin password. My password contains a “special character”…
After installation i recordnised that the keyboard layout is English and not German. The docs didn’t contain anything about this: TNTSearch Search | Yunohost Documentation
I found Keyboard - Debian Wiki and change the layout via dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
to German… Logout and login and Bam!!! I can’t login: Password wrong… Ups. Yes, the “special character” changed because of layout change…
The help page Get access back into YunoHost | Yunohost Documentation contains this:
If this is still failing, on a VPS you may be able to reboot in rescue mode. Do not hesitate to ask for help
But how to reboot in secure mode on a Raspberry Pi ?!? There is no boot menu…
That’s a boring experience for new user, isn’t it?
My solution: I looked the English Layout and spotted the “special character” that i have to use on the german keyboard.
Now i can login as root via console and change the password… But boring: I have to change the password again on the web page…
