I too am having some problems with login into Armbian.
I am using “Armbian_21.08.0-trunk_Radxa-zero_focal_current_5.10.58_xfce_desktop”.
I tried “root 1234”, “rock rock”, “root rock” and finally “rock 1234”. None of these will work.
I have tried two different SD Card.

Please help!

How could you erase the emmc memory to boot from a SD card?

I’m having an issue with this. So I can login with rock/rock on the radxa-zero-debian-buster-xfce4-arm64-20220616-0314-mbr.img.xz from https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-zero/releases/tag/20220616-0154 on my Zero, but then I can’t sudo or su to root with password 1234. What’s the root password on that image? Or how can I get sudo enabled for user rock so that I can get to root? It’s basically useless without being able to get to root, since I can’t install/update/modify anything on the system.
