I'm trying to get headless SSH access to a Pi Zero 2 W using a USB cable from my Mac... However the SSH is failing with "Permission denied, please try again.". What am I doing wrong?
These are the steps I'm following:
- Flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit version (released 2022-04-04) using Pi Imager to SD card
- In
config.txt, add this as the last line of the file:dtoverlay=dwc2 - In
cmdline.txt, add this as a parameter, just after therootwaitparameter:modules-load=dwc2,g_ether - Add empty file called
ssh - Connect Pi to Mac with USB cable, making sure to connect to USB port on Pi (not PWR)
- Boot Pi
- Check in Mac
System Preferences > SharingthatInternet SharingandRNDIS/Ethernet Gadgetare ticked. - Ping Pi:
ping raspberrypi.local, check that it has a192.168.X.Yaddress. - Pull the power out while it's pinging, check that it stops (proving that this is definitely our Pi and not another on the network!)
- Boot Pi again
- Try to SSH to Pi, using password
