Beginners • Re: Raspberry Pi Zero W as USB MIDI Host

Two reasons - first because I'm trying to follow the tutorial to the letter, since it seems to work for the author (they have the same hardware as me and they tried a newer OS which didn't work) second because it's older hardware (Pi Zero W 1.1) and I wasn't sure if a newer OS would work.

I tried what you suggested and installed the most recent available OS in the Pi Imager App (Bullseye 32-Bit). It now connects to my wifi. Great! I can see it in the devices connected to my router. However... When I try to SSH into the Pi here's what I get:

redacted ~ % ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
The authenticity of host 'raspberrypi.local (192.168.2.87)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is redacted.
This key is not known by any other names.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'raspberrypi.local' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
pi@raspberrypi.local's password: (here I entered the password I set in the Imager App)
Permission denied, please try again.
pi@raspberrypi.local's password: (tried 'raspberry', though I know it's no longer the default password)
Permission denied, please try again.

What other password could it be? Is there a root password that's not the same as the default password or the one I chose when doing the setup? I'm sure I'm making a NOOB mistake here. Any ideas?

Thank you.
