carealtor Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I find it just a wee bit frustrating that even the Polisy Wiki simply says to change the password, but the instructions to do it are not there. Not all of us speak fluent... whatever language "passwd" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did change the Polyglot login as you suggested, but the Polisy login remains admin/admin until it is changed separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it through the "terminal" program on a Mac, or "Command Prompt" on a Windows 10 box. Some people prefer to download, install and use the utility PuTTY for this purpose. Open one of those programs and type: ssh admin@<your Polisy IP address> You'll be asked for a password, which is "admin". When you're logged in, type the command: 'passwd'. From there, follow the prompts. The command 'exit' will disconnect you from your Polisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't really anything to do with polygot but rather the OS = freeBSD running on your polisy. You will be entering commands on it's command line interpreter (shell). Follow Bumbershoot's post above. I think puTTYis built into Windows 10 now. Type it's name in the search box in the Start menu of Win 10. Each time you try a setup in puTTY save it under a name for fast recall next time. You can Load any terminal personalities and add the password and screen colours, font sizes and colours etc... Save again. You may find other uses for puTTY later as you get more courage with other equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
