Rpi zero w Anyone having trouble. This worked for me.

Hey guys figured I'd share my success in hopes someone having trouble setting up their piratebox. I couldn't for the life of me figure out ssh on my mac. What did work tho was downloading juiceshh on android. You can easily get it off of Google play store. I flashed the newest version of piratebox on an sd card and popped it into a fresh rpi zero w. Then on the android with juicessh installed open juicessh. On the home screen click connections and then click add. Under adress type 192.168.77.1 . Then under username type alarm. Then click the check mark in the top corner and you should be good to go. BEFORE you try and connect make sure you open your wifi and connect the your poratebox. It'll say something like "piratebox share freely. Now you can connect. You'll be asked to enter a password and username. Use "alarm" for both. Now your in and follow the instructions on the terminal. Hope this helps someone out. The password and username is what got me. I couldn't find anywhere telling me to use "alarm" as pass and username. I just happen to try it after trying everything else I could think of.

Oh yeah. Once your all done sudo nano /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf if you want to change your wifi name. Just replace the "pirate box share freely" with what you want.

Well, the howto says pretty clear

Password: alarm

Sorry I'm stubborn sometimes with directions. Also I was a little excited. I was more so having trouble with my mac. I kept getting a warning "remote host identification has changed" when trying to ssh. Thanks for the work you guys do.

This happens after a reflash. You need to remove the key entry of your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file
