Hi all,
I received my PinePhone Postmarket Edition a couple months ago.
Immediately I ran into the issue whereby it asked you to create a password and then did not reccognize the password. i think this was a topic of discussion here for a while but I can't link to the thread.
I am unable to get the attention of the PinePhone makers so I am hoping someone here can help me.
What happened to people was PinePhone asked you to create a "strong" password, which I did. This was one of the very first things it asked you to do when turning on the phone.
The password I created was long and had a lot of symbols and capital letters.
When I went to log into the phone, it did not recognize the password which I had written down accurately in fact.
The issue as I recall was that the password routine did not accept either letters or symbols but didn't tell you that when you created the password. It would pass the creation of the password, but then not recognize the password it had permitted you to create.
The solution to people who were caught in this, and there were quite a few, was to reflash the phone. It seemed to be absolutely the only way to fix the problem.
I am looking for a tutorial on how to reflash the phone.
Thanks so much for your assistance.
