when i ssh into the chromebook i get asked for a password

[william hagar]

hello i just got a Samsung chomebook and tired coping a file from my desktop to my chromebook using ssh. the comand is fine but it askes for a password for chronos@localhost. i never set a password or anything like that. does anyone know how to reset said password or know the default password? it isnt blank,chronos,google,my user password.

and if i switch to the chrombooks shell instead of my desktop shell i get Zues timed out and localhost connection refused. so if anyone could help with figuring out ether problem it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

If you are in developer mode, open a crosh (control-alt-T) and issue
the command "shell". Then you can become root (sudo bash) and set
passwords for the root and chronos users as you please.

It's probably worth adding: Generally, being in dev mode isn't
enough to be able to log in to a Chrome OS device via ssh.
The upstart job that starts sshd isn't present in a base Chrome OS
image. If you want sshd to be running on your device, then in addition
to switching to dev mode you'll need to do one of the following:
1) Build and install your own Chromium OS image.
2) Disable rootfs verification on your device, and then copy the
openssh-server job into /etc/init.
3) Write a short script that does what the openssh-server job does,
install it in /usr/local/bin, and then run the script manually after you
boot.

ive tried usig sudo to do it but it just wont work. it asked to put in a new password then verify and then it gives me some authentication token lock busy runaround.

that error comes up when your rootfs is mounted read only. you need to do something like:
mount / --remount -o rw

Have they fixed this yet?

[Mike Frysinger]

fixed what ?  by design, ssh does not run.  if you're running a test image, the default password is the same as always -- test0000.  if you're not, then there is no password, and there's no real way to set one.

this describes things:
