[Icon-tech] Console asks for password when never has before?

[Jay Pellis]

Hi Michael
I'm sorry I didn't clarify my problem but thanks for the info on exiting.
What I ment my problem was was that I keep getting asked for a password.
After reflashing thinking that the problem was fixed yesterday, it was, I
was able to log in with just root.  I exited via the menu and this morning
when opening the console again, I got the normal log in then a password
prompt.  To begin with, I got the password prompt after receiving the unit
back from repair, I am also using the latest beta build as well if that
might have anything to do with it.
Thanks again guys, again I want to say excelent support/help from
levelstar/APH for every single question or even littlest issue I have had
since I've had my braille plus.
 Regards
Jay

If you exit the console, it doesn't actually close out that console session,
it just exits the console app, but the console remains open.  To close the
console session, type in the command 'exit', before closing the app.

Hello all
I absolutely love the console concept of the icon and the possibilities for
it.  Well for me so far, it's just playing text adventure games but I have
been learning some basic commands and they're coming to me because of the
few years I spent using dos when I got my first pc in 95 or so.  Anyhow
here's my little problem.  I received my unit back from getting repaired and
when trying to log in to the console, I usually type in root at the log on
screen and that's it.  But this time it asked for a password.  I assumed the
fixers of my unit were using it so I did a backup and a reflash.  The
console worked then as usual yesterday but this morning the same thing
happened.  I've noticed sometimes after closing the console and reopening
it, you end up where you last left off and sometimes you don't and have to
log in again.  Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
Thanks for any help and regards
Jay Pellis
