Password set by default during installation? Cannot change password. #7

I've followed all instructions and wanted to change my password. It seems this guide has a built in password because when attempting to change the password results in an "Authentication Required" prompt. The guide never ask you to "set a password" as I never did. It's safe to assume one was set by default during installation. What is that password so we can change it?

Thank you

The password is automatically set as "deck" (without the quotes).

If you're gonna change it make sure to make the necessary edits in post_install_sdcard.sh. edit that file and update line #8 for the new password.

This script really needs an update but havent had the time to do it.
