Clamares password needed with new Mobian installation - fauvetan - 06-25-2025
Hello,
I just try to install Mobian on my Pinephone using the dd’s method but when I put the SD card inside the phone and try to boot on it, I get the “Enter disk decryption passphrase” of Clamares. I read that “1234” is the default password, but it doesn’t work. Clamares tell me it’s a wrong password.
I flashed my sd card many times, trying some tweeks, but the message still the same.
So, what can I do to bypass this situation?
Thank you.

Hi, in my opinion, you should first install the Tow-Boot. This allows easy access to the Pinephone internal memory.
Depending on what you write, Calamares calls you on creating a new password. Create some password that you will enter when you start your mobile. The password must be longer, about 8 or more characters.
This 1234 is for the user login, not for installation using Calamares.
