Change the default username when installing Ubuntu Server 19.10 on Raspberry Pi 4

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 58 views

What should I do if I want to change the default username when I installed Ubuntu Server 19.10 on Raspberry Pi 4?

By default, the username is ubuntu and the password is ubuntu. I would like to change this to something like (username: helloman password: 0123456789), what should I do?

After burning the image for raspi on the SD card, it seems that I should edit the file user-data, so I tried using the example below, but it didn't work. Why?

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/topics/examples.html

I'd like to change the password to only numbers.(I know it's a weak password, but I want to try it)

Self-edited user-data:

#cloud-config

# This is the user-data configuration file for cloud-init.By default this sets
# up an initial user called "ubuntu" with password "ubuntu", which must be
# changed at first login.However, many additional actions can be initiated on
# first boot from this file.The cloud-init documentation has more details:
#
# # https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/
#
# Some additional examples are provided in comments below the default
# configuration.

# Enable password authentication with the SSH daemon
ssh_pwauth —true

I cannot change it with user-data.It was written in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg before user-data was processed.

US>Once you have another Linux environment, mount the MicroSD ext4 partition and edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg in the editor to change the username. Then try setting the password with user-data.

Or maybe you can install it normally, do userdel ubuntu, and then try useradd helloman.
