Raspberry Pi userconf

userconf.txt

Create a file named user userconf (or userconf.txt) containing the following:
pi:$6$c70VpvPsVNCG0YR5$l5vWWLsLko9Kj65gcQ8qvMkuOoRkEagI90qi3F/Y7rm8eNYZHW8CY6BOIKwMH7a3YYzZYL90zf304cAHLFaZE0
Place userconf (or userconf.txt) plus an empty file named ssh (or ssh.txt) in the BOOT (FAT32) partition of the SD card.
Insert the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and it should boot with access to user 'pi' (password : raspberry) via SSH.

This is great, thanks!

In case You wonder how to generate this password hash yourself

openssl passwd -6

Just using the widely known default is not advisable.

mac noob incomming:

this command doesn't work on mac osx sequoia:

openssl passwd -6

yields a:

"unkonw command"

install openssl?

Thank you!

This helped me as a Linux NOOB. To generate that phassphrase didn't work for me as I cannot go from the Pi login prompt to the command line (using PuttY) but somebody that did it for me (as shown above) is great!
