Before you shut it down right away, let me explain. I’ve been searching online for a fix, but I seem to be facing the opposite of what others do. I decided to update my PiHole server last night—no worries, that’s easy. Connected via SSH and can’t remember the password, so I used an HDMI cable to restart it... But why can’t I reach the terminal? It feels like it won’t boot, even though the PiHole API is functioning perfectly. I can access the web interface without issues, but how do I get to the physical terminal? I’ve tried rebooting with and without my PADD display, but nothing changes. Any advice would be really helpful.

Consider using Ctrl+Alt+F2 to change terminals, though the initial setting might display logs. This won't assist with forgotten passwords—registration is required.

Great that you're on another screen, but it's still not working when I can't modify the password. When did Raspbian stop launching with the command line? I'm sure I haven't made any changes either—just using the default Pi and Raspberry versions.

I’m keeping the ability to reach Gravity, so I’ll just restore it again. This version consistently maintains more than 100 days of availability. The best performance ever achieved.
