There are two kinds of passwords on this score. One is the wifi password And the other is the Conductor password. Both of these are optional.
The Wifi password is the password needed to join the wifi network. All performers must be able to join this network. If there is no password, anyone at all can join. If you forget this password, it is very easy to reset it.
The conductor password is the password needed to make changes to the piece, start and stop the score, shut down the computer, and change passwords. If there is no password, anyone on the network can do any of these things at any time. If you forget this password, it is a little more difficult to reset it.
Whichever combinations of password you choose, it’s important to rehearse with that combination.
In a typical performance situation, you would not want the audience on your wifi network. This is especially true if the audience is large. If many people are you your network, it can cause the piece to slow down or crash.
However, if you are running a workshop or in another situation where there is no audience - only participants, it can save a lot of time to skip having a password.
From the main page, anyone on the network can click on ‘show wifi password’ and help other participants join the network.
To set or unset the password, from the main page, click on conductor and then click on Advanced settings. Scroll down to find the wifi password form.
Your password can only contain numbers and letters, which can be upper or lowercase. It must be between 8-63 characters long.
If you leave the new password form blank, it will clear the password, so one is no longer required.
If you have an open network, or are working with children or strangers, you should consider setting a conductor password. This way, only someone who types in the password can start or stop the piece or change settings.
Only one person should act as a conductor for any given run-through of the piece, however, it is a good idea to have the password written down or have a back-up conductor who has their own password, in case the normal conductor is absent.
To set or unset the password, from the main page, click on conductor and then click on Advanced settings. Scroll down to find the conductor password form.
You must pick a user name. It can only be numbers and upper or lowercase letters. It must be between 3-20 characters long.
Your password can only contain numbers and letters, which can be upper or lowercase. It must be between 3-20 characters long.
You can have as many conductor accounts as you like, but only one person should be acting as a conductor at a time. Any conductor may change the password of any other conductor. If you leave the password fields blank, that conductor will be deleted. If there are no remaining conductors, all requirements to log in will be removed.
To prevent forgotten passwords, it may be a good idea to write them down. For the wifi password especially, it may be a good idea to write it directly on the computer.
If you are planning on storing the piece for a while, it may be a good idea to clear the passwords and reset them when the piece returns to your active repertoire.
To reset the wifi password, use an ethernet cable to plug the computer into your home network or a laptop or desktop computer. Use a laptop or desktop computer to connect to immrama.local or immrama.home or using whatever extension is used on your home network. If connecting via your router does not work, try plugging in directly and vice versa. Once you are connected, you can view the existing wifi password, reset it or clear it using the web interface.
If you use your computer to mount the SD card, the wifi password can be read at the bottom of /root?/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, in the line starting with wpa_passphrase=
If you use your computer to mount the SC card, you will see a directory in the boot partition of the card which is called htpasswd/. Inside, you will find a file called lighttpd-htdigest.user. Delete that file to clear the password.
Alternately, if you are on the same network as the piece, either on it’s own wifi network or connected via ethernet, you can connect via ssh: ssh pi@immrama.local or ssh@immrama or ssh@immrama.home or pi@immrama.localnet or pi@172.24.1.1 or using whatever extension is used on your local network.
The default password for an ssh connection is graphicnotation. If this does not work, then see Stack Exchange for what to try next. 1
Once you have logged in, type: * sudo rm /boot/htpasswd/lighttpd-htdigest.user * sudo shutdown -h now Be careful to type this exactly.
