SSH into Solar Assistant

You can gain root access to solar-assistant, it’s an easy way to go.
get your sdcard into an other raspi or linux machine

modify sshd_config like this one:

Bash:

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See

# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with

# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where

# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the

# default value.

Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf

 

Port 22

#AddressFamily any

#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

#ListenAddress ::

#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

# Ciphers and keying

#RekeyLimit default none

# Logging

#SyslogFacility AUTH

#LogLevel INFO

# Authentication:

#LoginGraceTime 2m

PermitRootLogin yes

#StrictModes yes

#MaxAuthTries 6

#MaxSessions 10

PubkeyAuthentication yes

# Expect .ssh/authorized_keys2 to be disregarded by default in future.

#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2

#AuthorizedPrincipalsFile none

#AuthorizedKeysCommand none

#AuthorizedKeysCommandUser nobody

# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

#HostbasedAuthentication no

# Change to yes if you don’t trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for

# HostbasedAuthentication

#IgnoreUserKnownHosts no

# Don’t read the user’s ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files

#IgnoreRhosts yes

 

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!

#PasswordAuthentication yes

#PermitEmptyPasswords no

 

# Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with

# some PAM modules and threads)

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

 

# Kerberos options

#KerberosAuthentication no

#KerberosOrLocalPasswd yes

#KerberosTicketCleanup yes

#KerberosGetAFSToken no

 

Next modify:
Like GregTR here said: do delete the line
BUT they also mucked with the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file and added a one liner.
Code:
auth [success=die default=ignore] pam_localuser.so

modify shadow
1.line:
/etc/shadow

root:$y$j9T$ENxjb9crH9Rf43ZvEU5K//$gUc0L1WSGNRiLA5a1w5vxKONSaa2LrxThvcoyShmVh8:1

so root password will be: 1234

reboot and ssh into your solar-assistant ip as root and password: 1234

easy:)
