Have you not read this thread in its entirety?
There is no pi user with hassio, and if you are running hassio you use the add-ons for the duckdns and lets encrypt settings.

You should start a new thread because your error has nothing to with this topic.
That is correct I shall take by football and go home
Lol. What?
I suggested you start your own thread with your issue. Your issue doesn’t have anything to do with the topic of this one…
For the hassio default ID, it’s “root”, then it boots up.
Thanks, I got this working. Now I tried the ls command and nothing happens. So what exactly does ssh give you access to?
how then to install utils like ffmpeg? this also needs ssh connection
With this install method, if it doesn’t come installed you don’t install it 
We NEED Pi user access to make system changes!!!
HA does not provide the BASH access

We want BASH access for the PI user not ROOT. Root jumps intoHA and you cant access BASH

So I wrote the latest image to my SSD and booted it. It’s been runnning 25 minutes and laenty of activity on the disk and Pi ethernet. But ipaddr:8123 is still not responding.
The next logical choice is to see what is going on. The main console has the login prompt. SSH has the login prompt (thru Putty), yet there is no username that we can use? How silly is that? What do I do now?
(I know, tech support would probably say turn off for 1 minute and then reboot, but that doesn’t work.
Are there any obvious things to do to see what is going on in the Rpi?
If you have written the latest HAOS to disk it will not have SSH installed, so something has gone wrong. What guide did you follow? How did you install it?
