Later I read I need to hold down shift on a grey splashscreen which I don't see so I tried the login screen but that didn't work. I've tried various root combinations suggested such as debian debian but none work.

This won't work at all, as there is no grub bootloader. I don't actually know of any single-board computer that has grub on it.

To access the root account, you'll need to set a password for it, which will unlock the account. The rock64 user account is a admin level account, so you can do a "sudo passwd root" at a terminal prompt (hint: Applications -> System Tools -> MATE Terminal) and type in a password for the root user.

As far as power settings, they should be in the System -> Administration or System -> Preferences section, pretty sure the applet you're after is just called "Power"...



I see. Thanks for the guidance. I was able to change the root password! Unfortunately I still can't see the Administration option under System so I can't access any of the admin settings that I need to change. I logged in as root hoping it would show but still not. Any ideas? I only see Hardware, Internet & Hardware, Look & Feel and Personal none of which contain power settings.
