Initial Raspberry Pi OS Username/Password Entries Are Not Saved

[LarryGFlorence]

The first time a new HamPi 3.0 installation runs, a dialog asks for a new User Name and Password. The entries of this dialog are not saved; neither the user name nor the password are set. There is no error message.

This results in the confusing warning about SSH using the default pi password. It also leads to confusion when the user needs to enter a password, for example, for sudo execution.

This sounds like a Raspberry Pi OS defect because I'm using the pre-April image, and updating it to the present, which picks up the new dialog code. It looks like the new dialog code is not compatible with the older image.

I'm going to refer you to write this up with the Raspberry Pi foundation. However, since this is happening with the HamPi image, I need to see how I can address it.

Furthermore, I found that the settings made in Imager pre-burn are made in the resulting distribution - user name, password, WiFi settings, etc. But, oddly, the QSLWare dialog does not appear :(

I had been using ham pi without changing the password for a short time, it now is asking for a password to perform gpsd , in getting a Ublox7 to talk and it is asking for a password? None of the known rpi intial passwords are working? Any suggestions other than burning a new image?
