  • @jsotola Good suggestion: no joy. I believe I changed the default password, so I am seeking a reference that states the default username\pw.

    The default username / password is pi / raspberry as this link. - I changed the default password. You changed the default password and you want us to tell you the changed password?! - What do you mean by "I am seeking a reference that states the default username\pw."?

Reset to default

The default username / password is pi / raspberry as this link. On a QWERTZ keyboard type z instead of y because QWERTY keyboard layout is set by default. If you can not login as pi user, change the password.

To clarify, because attempts to login with pi fails, the password must have been changed.

You can login without the system running (remove any password) by this answer. (Thanks to @gatorback) Note that the method is described for root, however, you can do it for pi or any other users.
