Hi sn2018,

please use the web-ui and activate SSH for user pi as described in

> [@How to enable SSH using ncp-config or ncp-web](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-enable-ssh-using-ncp-config-or-ncp-web/126317):

> Depending on your access Web, from a browser visit [https://nextcloudpi.local:4443](https://nextcloudpi.local:4443) username : ncp Password : Generated at activation [Watch a short video demonstrating enable ssh in ncp-web](https://youtu.be/mjt9wTef5AA) To have access through the terminal you need to enable SSH first in the web interface, set a username and password. Once logged in: sudo ncp-config Scroll down ncp-config screen and select SSH [nextcloudpi-config screenshot] Use arrow keys for up and…

(Its currently possible via Web-UI only!!)

This will activate the user pi again (which is part of sudoers)

Afterwards you can logon with user pi from terminal/console (physically keyboard/display connected to your device) as well as using ssh.

Crazy workaround, however the only one i am aware of for now.

Best regards
