SSH password changed (?) after update to 15.0.13

Operating system: Linux 3.10.65 #55 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 18 16:17:28 CST 2016 aarch64

Webserver: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) (apache2handler)

Database: mysql 5.7.28

PHP version: 7.0.33-0ubuntu0.16.04.7

The issue you are facing:

I am trying to ssh to my orangepi using the credentials I always use. The perission is denied though. The only thing changed since my last login was the update from an older version of nextcloud to 15.0.13. Has anyone faced the issue?

Nextcloud is usually not changing any passwords out-sight of its responsibility. So it is very unlikely that a Nextcloud updated has forced a ssh account change. Which user do you want to login with?

I want to log in as the user I always logged in. It s a default user account named orangepi. I have to mention that the nextcloud instance is still working flawlessly.

I’ve asked for the username, because another user tried to login in the past using the “root” account on a normal RaspberryPi and I didn’t know the default account of an OrangePi.
I assume that you’ve also tried the default password as described in A1 here:

Yes. I tried that also.

I think the only way to get access to the server again, would be to use a second linux computer where you have root access, use an sd-card reader and mount the sd-card of your Nextcloud server and then modify the /etc/shadow file on it.
