This will work.
Depending on the choice you made when installing the OS (Debian), you might have a user ārootā with its password, or you might have created a new user with its password.
Frustrating!! 
I keep every login/password I have in a password manager, but I only have the (apparently incorrect) single one for this. Grrr.
have you tried user: root ? As a rule of thumb, i find itās almost always easier to just reinstall and use a backup then wasting time looking for a solution for these types of problems. I keep google backups using the addinā¦so restore is easy.
Just tried it - no good. Also tried it with a password - no good.
I, too, use the addin for Google Backups - Iām just, of course, paranoid that a new install wonāt restore.

Thanks! LOL I got as far as trying to type this: :/# mount -n -o remount,rw / after the cntrl-x,
aaaaand nothing. USB keyboard wouldnāt work.
From searching - looks like Iāll have to try different USB ports, maybe a different keyboard. I donāt HAVE one of the old style keyboards anymore, and I donāt think the PC even has a port for it!
Try to make VM without UEFI. This helps me a lot.
you may need a wired keyboard (connects to USB port).
Heh, sorry I wasnāt clear - I have a wired USB keyboard, but I have read to try different USB ports.
Hello!
Anyone figured out an script to install and keep OS Agent updated? I just had to install it for the first time after an supervisor update:
Iām wondering if thereās another way other than manually installing every time thereās a new release because unfortunately I donāt have the option to install HA OS (for now) and would like to keep my installation supported with minimal interaction (monthly updates via command in the guide).
I am running Debian 10 - how do you install this package ?
Is it possible to get an user guide how to upgrade from existing Debian 10 supervised install?
Thank you
I am trying to install os-agent - but when I use Terminal or Putty, it does not find dpkg (or even apt-get) ? Do I miss something ?
Chris
You need to run it on the host not in the ssh addon (which runs inside a container)
David,
Thx! Ofcourse stupid of me, I have HA running in my basement in a rack and do everything remotelyā¦
Chris
So do Iā¦ Just make sure the addon and/or the ssh server on the host arenāt both trying to use the same port (22) and you can then connect to the host or the container depending on what you are doing.
Is there a guide available explaining upgrading from Debian 10 to Debian 11 (on Intel HW not RPI ) ?
Is there an easy way to upgrade from Debian 10 to Debian 11 or should I start from scratch and start with a fresh install ?
I know @Tamsy wrote an excellent upgrade directions on another forum. I could not link to it using my phone. It was for the pi 4 and I would think it would work for other install methods as well. Try to find the thread and ask @Tamsy he is excellent and very helpful! Hopefully he would know whether it would work for your hardware.
