What had you booted,, is it the Sd card? OR emmc?
i imagine that you are in a terminal, so
id
whoami
uname -a
mount |grep dev
lsblk
If you have sufficient permissions, edit (on emmc) /etc/shadow, make root passwordless
As I said before, search forum, all explained previously
(search .... passwordless OR shadow)

Just got off work, and I am about to take another crack at it. I just wanted to say thanks again for you're help. I'll let you know the results

As for what I booted, I BLEIEVE the SD Card, but I'll let you know

Okay. I found one thread and was reading, but then I kind of got confused. At first it says:

Quote:Then it depends. If you're on a computer that can run Balena Etcher, just select..
 But then a little further down it says:
Quote:We can't use Etcher on the Pinebook family, so we need to do it manually. It's not that hard as long as you're really careful

Sooo, can we or can we not use it?.
