How do i find out which Username & PW to use if i forgot them?

A while ago i changed the Username & Password from the default pi & raspberry - how do i find out which username & password i used and how do i get my access back/ reset to default? So i can use SSH again. Totally my mistake, but not the most experienced in Linux.😖

Thx for the quick advice, is there no other way? If i reset it can i just copy the config files back in?

If you could easily extract the old password, it wouldn't be very sedure 😛 And yes, copying the config files back in will get you right back where you were *secure

unless you deleted the old user - try logging in as pi (password raspberry) and then using sudo reset the user you created?
