Can't enable SSH

[aleprovencio]

When trying the method described here even though trying a new non-existent the system always returns with the error message "The user pi is using the default password. Refusing to activate SSH".

Sorry for not pasting the output of sudo ncp-report because I guess that should be done via ssh.

You can run nc-report from ncp-web at https://nextcloudpi.local:4443

A work-around is adding an empty file called /boot/ssh or /boot/ssh.txt : Shut down yr rpi, take SD out of the rpi and use your PC to create ssh.txt in the root of the first partion, where you find config.txt cmdline.txt. That is the partition that will be mounted as /boot . Then when you boot it will have ssh enabled.

you first have to do

user: pi
password: something different

in order to change the default password, that is insecure.

Then, you can log in through user pi with that password, or also you can create new users and passwords without problems

I am planning on simplifying this by disabling the pi user when you use this tool

Just to let you know, i tried changing the user pi password but then I got the error message The user ncp is using the default password. So instead of pi I changed passwords for the ncp user and everything now works as expected.
