You can also just set a password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’ and this will allow for both dev and SSH access if you need to keep them the same. This allows the password for dev access and SSH access to remain separate if needed. This means you need to use ‘chromeos-setdevpasswd’ from either shell or console to set your own password from build R55-8777 onwards.īy default, this also disables SSH access so if you also need this level of access, you will need to set a separate password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’. Older builds have the password of ‘password’. The password has been removed from build R55-8777 onward and will continue to be removed for better overall security. We will use a third-party script called crouton to. Please note: there is a new behaviour with the chronos user password.
