Hello  
I am using Umbrel 0.5.3.  
I was accustomed to everything working quite well (Well I’m just using the BTC node not the lightning yet).  
Today I am rather puzzled.  
I tried to log in using ssh root@… as I have done many times but the pwd gets refused.  
That’s strange because logging in using the WebInterface (am the only user so pwd is the same) works quite well. I thought that pwds were the same (root and my WebInterface user) and I don’t remember changing either …  
Am I wrong in thinking pwds should be the same?  
Is there something I missed?

Any advice welcome

Mmm, answering my own mail.  
Could it be that I locked myself out with the SSH (denied root the possibility to enter using SSH?)  
Eh I do remember going through with some settings but nothing that looked like that …  
Where could I have done that in the web interface?  
Jikes. I guess if it really come to that I will have to look in the settings files on the sd card?

Silly me.  
SSH into an umbrel machine is NOT  
root@umbrel.local  
is  
umbrel@umbrel.local ☹  
Sorry for disturbing
