Recover PrusaLink username/password

OK, I did a stupid... I forgot the password I setup on the PrusaLink local when setting it up. Is there anyway to reset/recover it without having to completely re-flash the SD card for the rPi and start over from ground zero?

If not, this is something that maybe should be considered. It would be nice to be able to reset this from Connect or via the LCD or something.  I'm listing this in the Bugs & Errors section as I see this being a real-world problem that could occur once this is out in the wild if there is no way to recover it.

 

Thanks!

Delete prusa_printer_settings.ini

I believe you can remove the `/home/pi/prusa_printer_settings.ini` file to redo the initialization routine.

Topic starter answered:
RE: Will try, but easier method should be added

Thanks Balu, I will give that a try this AM. But it may be something worth considering adding in a way to recover accounts/passwords for users that don’t feel comfortable SSH’ing in and using a command line.  Or to change the passwords even once the units are setup.  I can see scenarios where an operator of a farm might quit the job, leaving the owner of the farm in a bad condition.

Where is it?

Where i can find this directory? I've looked into the microSD card boot and I can't find any folder or file named like this.

SSH

You have to log in to the Zero with SSH to get to the file. Check out the usual Raspberry Debian tutorials on how to do so.

I can do this even if i haven't checked the SSH  before flashing the PrusaLink image?

Enable SSH

No. But you can just create an empty file called "ssh" in the boot directory as described here:
