   Ah. There may be gotchas in there like EOL charaters and spaces that   
   have to be 'just right'   
      
   I generally generate the encryption using the tools suggested.   
      
   e.g. echo 'mypassword' | openssl passwd -6 -stdin   
      
   echo 'raspberry' | openssl passwd -6 -stdin

   Note you never get the same string twice...   
      
   Here is a userconf.txt with user pi password raspberry...

   Ultimately that is a smoother way to access the Pi anyway
