Default password for Administrator incorrect

Question

_{Thursday, April 30, 2015 2:00 PM | 2 votes}

So far, my installation of Windows 10 IoT Technical Preview on a Raspberry Pi went successfully.

I get the 'default app' with an IP address 192.168.1.20.
Ping is avg. 1 ms.

The 'get started' manual stated the IP address must be added to the trustedhosts, so I did.
When issuing the command 'Enter-PsSession -ComputerName 192.168.1.20 -Credential Administrator' from the PS prompt, it responds by asking for a password. The username 'Administrator' is allready filled in, as expected.

Default password should be 'p@ssw0rd', but this doesn't work. I get an 'Access denied' answer.

Is the default password in the documentation incorrect? Is it possible to change the password by reconnecting the SD card to my Windows 10 client machine?

OK, Found the solution! You need to connect with the computername in front of the username...like this...

Enter-PsSession -ComputerName minwinpc -Credential minwinpc\Administrator

Yes, the command line should be in this form:

Enter-PsSession -ComputerName <machine-name or IP Address> -Credential Administrator

Please also note that the default password is: p@ssw0rd

<or>

p<at sign>ssw<zero>rd

The zero can easily be mistaken as an 'O' so calling that part out.

Same issue here. Access denied. :(

Same problem here.

Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server 192.168.0.123 failed with the following error message : Access is
denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

to be honest I am a bit confused about the TrustedHosts instructions, I thought that would be something to run on the target machine, i.e. the Raspberry Pi, not the client computer.

Awesome it works, thanks

Also works with the IP address:

Enter-PsSession -ComputerName a.b.c.d -Credential a.b.c.d\Administrator

Thank you!

Great catch - thanks!
