SSH Credentials

To control and configure the robot the igus Robot Control (iRC) PC software uses a CRI and a SSH connection. To protect the system the SSH password can be changed, this is supported from iRC V15.

To change the password you need to log into the robot control using a SSH client, e.g. PuTTY. The standard user is "robot" and password "robot.

Enter command "sudo passwd robot". This changes the password of user "robot". You will be asked to enter the new password twice. Be careful, if you misstype or forget the password you won't be able to connect and need to do a factory reset. You can restore the original password using the same command.

If the password is changed iRC will ask for it when trying to connect.
