Expand Up @@ -66,9 +66,9 @@ This file should contain a single line of text, consisting of `username:password
To generate the encrypted password, the easiest way is to use OpenSSL on a Raspberry Pi that is already running – open a terminal window and enter:

----
echo 'mypassword' | openssl passwd -6 -stdin
openssl passwd -6
----

This will produce what looks like a string of random characters, which is actually an encrypted version of the supplied password.
This will prompt you to enter your password, and verify it. It will then produce what looks like a string of random characters, which is actually an encrypted version of the supplied password.

WARNING: If you are creating this file on Microsoft Windows you should ensure that you do no add a newline to the end of the file. In Windows, lines end with both the line feed and carriage return ASCII characters, but Unix uses only a line feed and treats the additional carriage return character as part of the password hash.
