how to set ssh password

How can I set a new password for user pi?
Using the default pwd is a security problem

Really? Google “Linux passwd” If you really want to change it, you’ll need to ssh in and use passwd to change it.

Since the effective radius of a Stratux WiFi signal is around 30 or 40 FEET and any potential hacker would have to be sitting in your airplane, not really much of a security problem... plus what would someone do if they did hack into the Raspberry Pi? Fix a bug?

I hope nobody think this was MY question!

I did that:
login as pi, set new pwd with passwd, sudo reboot.
relogin: Old default pwd is active.
Problem with read only fs?
default pwd is a security problem: if you use stratux on your home/work lan and not in a plane.
@wa9als: world is not so under complex as it seems in the first place

You need to disable read only fs in settings: enable "Persistent logging".

Thanx,
thats it:
enable "Persistent logging"
reboot
ssh pi@stratux.local (login with old pwd)
passwd

go to stratux-website / settings
disable "Persistent logging"
reboot

ssh pi@stratux.local (login with new pwd)
