Pidog help for a newb

General
1

Hello all, I got a pidog for my son and am stuck. We were able to get to the point where we installed the modules. After running the i2samp.sh script successfully I rebooted (end of script). Now I’m locked out. When I try to SSH back in to the pi it asks for the hostname and password. Windows power shell allows me to type in the hostname but when promoted for the password I can’t type anything. As if it doesn’t recognize key strokes.
I am at the point where I need to SSH in and check the I2C and SPI interfaces and adjust the servos but since I can’t put in the password I’m stuck trying to reconnect to the Pi.

I’m getting a connection closed by fe80… message.

I’m running a Pi 4b and installed the pi operating system through the recommended 64 bit package via SD card.

If I missed key info please let me know. Any help from the community would be appreciated.

-Steve.

You’ve probably not missed anything. This isn’t a pidog issue, it’s related to ipv6 link-local networking.
If you report the exact commands that you typed in for each step, e.g ip-address syntax and any additional complete error messages etc then it should be possible to see what’s amiss.

Best guess is that you’ve not added a zone index to your ssh address? On PC type

netsh interface ipv6 show address

Then add %ABOVEREPORTEDINDEX to your ip address

But without seeing exactly what you’ve typed and reported, it’s difficult to say.

Or just Google above key words
Ipv6 ssh link-local zone
and you should find several solutions as they relate to your specific network/pc/router configuration
