I pulled my Raspberry Pi out from storage and have forgotten my username and password. I don't have access to a microSD reader at the moment. Is there any way I can simple reset the Pi to it's default? I have no important files on there, so I'm fine with wiping and starting over (as long as I still have Raspbian installed).
How would I go about wiping and starting over from the login screen?
I was able to wipe and start over by restarting (control-alt-delete) and hold down shift. I then installed Raspbian, which wiped the card and started the Raspberry Pi from scratch.

I installed "onboard" as a virtual keyboard on the system. It looked much nicer and more useful than matchbox. I went into the settings and chose the auto open option when I edit the post. after that i restarted my raspberry pi. As it didn't come on automatically, I couldn't run it from the terminal or the menu normally. The error I get when I try to run it from terminal
Hej blackmamba,
I had the same issue with the on screen keyboard florence. After I installed at-spi2-core, it didn't crash anymore, though i could not get it to open automatically.
So I tried installing onboard and everything worked quiet well. Might be a hint..
regards, jarvis

I am looking for a way to install noobs raspbian from network. I mean i do not want to connect an hdmi TV, mouse or keyboard.
What i read in documentation is to download noobs (full version) and copy files into sd card. I have read i need to change something in recovery.cmdline file (Adding vncinstall word).
This works for the first raspberry boot: I can see installation screen through VNC. I have choose "Raspbian + pixel" installation. Then, I can see the progress bar.
But at the end of the installation, when the raspberry reboots, i have no VNC, neither ssh or telnet server and at this time i need to plug an HDMI TV, mouse and keyboard.
Do you know how i can automaticly launch a VNC or SSH server without having to plug a TV and keyboard ?
Thanks
I installed kodi on my raspberry pi on raspbian. I read the easiest way to auto start kodi when I turn it on it to change the /etc/default/kodi file and set ENABLE = 1.
Whenever I try this both the app I use as remote (flex remote - ios) and the mouse connected to the raspberry won't work. How can I fix it?
can't remember exactly, but inside /etc/default/kodi you can also specify a user. Default it should be set as kodi but if you haven't edited that user this might be a source of problems. Try changing that user to pi or give the right permissions to the kodi user
I downloaded the necessary files for Raspberry Pi onto a MicroSD card, although the MicroSD card is no longer readable. When I put the card into the computer through a MicroSD to USB adapter nothing shows up in Windows Explorer. The card isn't present in Windows Disk Management either.
How do I fix the MicroSD card to get Raspberry Pi running properly?
If the Pi won't boot off it (ie can't read it) and Windows can't read it I would assume the card has died, is it a good brand or a no name one? It may be worth just grabbing another one to test with.
i have installed wheezy on my raspberry pi and everything works fine except for the IDLE software where both versions IDLE and IDLE 3 won't open when double clicking them from the desktop or from the start like menu.
i try to open them but nothing happens?!
i don't know what does this have to do with this issue, but i used to connect to raspberry pi by putty and xming11 and at that case the IDLE software didn't open when trying to access it.
however by using tightvnc, this issue was solved!!!
