I was able to use PuTTY on Windows 10 to login to the BBB via serial
without root password after editing the /etc/passwd file. Typically the
root account is set in the sshd_config to not allow remote ssh connections
to a Linux system. You have to set this to allow for root login with or
without
I'm going out on the limb here, but putty seem to have an issue with logins
without a password. I'm sure some one can provide more input on this.

Bob,
If you removed the crypted password from the shadow file, that may cause an
issue. If you still have that original file, I would put it back in place
and try again. If none of this is working, then it would appear
something happened to the config. As you mentioned previously, it could be

I tried your suggestion but am still unable to log in as root. I'm still
being asked for a password for root.

Try just removing the 'x' for your user in the '/etc/passwd'. This should
allow for a login with asking for a password.
Of course, backup your file and add a password once you can login.

Well, I thought it worked great but it doesn't.
I applied all these commands to the BBB in question and specifically to the
root password entry but I am still unable to get into it.
When I attempt to log in with root, and enter a null password, I still get
"access denied". Same with all other

THIS works great! Thanks so much for the help.

If you just want to reset the password on the new imaged BBB (this does not
explain why you had issue in the first place, but does allow you to access
the system)
clear the encrypted password as follows, (if you need detailed steps let me
know)

I am now attempting to get into GRUB during boot. I never see a GRUB menu
show up by pressing/holding ESC or left shift. What I do see is that I can
interrupt boot by pressing the spacebar. I then get a command prompt in
??. And I have no idea what to do after that.

Thanks Andrea. Once I get in, I will check the logs. The sshd is likely
up as you state. The BBB is protected by a firewall on my router as well
as iptables. And no, I didn't have enforced sshd to accept only user
connection.
All very good ideas!

Thanks Robert. I will give those ideas a try.

As I said in the first post on this issue: I had run the procedure to make
an image of the functional BBB on which I could log into with both a

The caps lock is off. Yes, I know that

Question: were you ever able to login to these machines in the past?

PuTTY (and WinSCP) are used on a host PC running Windows 7 Professional.
Yes, I'm certain of the IPs for both BBB. Both BBB are connected to my
network via hardwire to a switch.
I can see both BBB using web pages (and therefore IP addresses) I set up on
them. Both are running ok. Both ping ok.
Are you using Windows or Linux on your host PC? Since you mention PuTTY, I
would assume it is windows.
You could try to connect to the BB using the USB Network options:

- The user password:

I am able to connect to the BBB with PuTTY and get a prompt to log in. I
have tried debian/temppwd and that doesn't work.
I've read about using a serial connection to the BBB and interrupting the
boot sequence to gain access. Anyone done that?

Try logging in as user : debian
