Are you sure you are trying to ssh to the right ip address and as user root? Mine would be this here:
ssh root@192.168.1.2
This only works for going through the initial setup. After that when it reboots then you will get the error you posted (“connection refused”). You then have to ssh to the pi using the username you created in the Setup.
I am sure this happens when i am trying to boot for the first time. I do not have a monitor, so i am not done with the initial setup.
Is there any automatic login happens ??
I tried with root@ipaddress, there i get the error “connection refused”
More info:
My pi and my windows computer are connected to the same network.
I got the ip of PI from the router page.
iam using putty to connect to PI with root@ipaddress, port : 22 thouugh SSH
Okay. We have had reports that the 20.08 rpi4 images takes a while to boot completely, like 10 minutes or so.
Have you tried just waiting 10-15 minutes and then SSH?
Could simply be that the boot process is not complete yet, and thus the SSH service has not started.
Finally i found a monitor and boot into desktop. Now actually i am unable to connect to any WIFI, system is trying to connect for sometime, then asking for password again. It keeps on going like this, unable to connect. Error shows “No secrets were provided”
