Beagle root and debian account passwords

Did your Kiwi not have a Beagle/Linux root password set and now it's asking for one? ("temppwd" in the case of the debian account) Recent security changes have automatically applied a password to any root or debian account passwords that were blank/unset. The password is either the Kiwi admin password, if one was set, or the Kiwi serial number written on the top of the circuit board in the white box (also available on the admin interface "network" tab). For more information please see this forum post.

Are your software updates stuck on v1.462?

Manual intervention is required to get your Kiwi to resume automatic updates
beyond software version v1.462 Please see here for more information.

KiwiSDR regional distributors:
The original Kiwi is not in production due to the world-wide semiconductor shortage.
However we are working on a replacement, the KiwiSDR 2.
