I've been using Homebridge for about 2 years on RPi2. Today, I got a Pi 4 in hopes to eventually be able to also set up Home Assistant, but for today, I'm just setting up Homebridge. I am not great with computers, and Homebridge has been my only Linux exposure. I've learned a ton through it, but I'm at my wit's end.

The only problem is that this thing is much louder, so I'd like to finally venture into the world of overall configuration options. I initially set up my new Homebridge using a backup of my old one, but when going to the terminal and typing in

homebridge@lukepi:/var/lib/homebridge $ sudo raspi-config

[sudo] password for homebridge:

Sorry, try again.

I realized that at some point, I'd had to reset my Pi, and didn't document what the password was. Honestly, I wanted an excuse to nuke it from orbit and start from scratch anyways, so that's what I did. I set up a brand new image on the SD card straight from the Imager, set up all my plugins, and realized I hadn't tried to config yet. I'm now met with the exact same thing!

When I set up the image, it asked me for a password. I triple checked that password before hitting save - that password does not work. raspberry also does not work, nor does admin, nor does just hitting enter for a blank password (all suggestions I've seen online). Can anybody help me out here? What do I have to do to log in and adjust the fan settings?!?!
