I am trying a headless install and using NOOBS v1.4.2 .

I followed the instructions on this thread: Installing Raspbian from Noobs without display and changed the password on \os\Raspbian\os.json and kept the same username.

I found the IP of the PI over my network and tried to connect it by 

ssh pi@192.168.x.x
pi@192.168.x.x's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
pi@192.168.x.x's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
pi@192.168.x.x's password: 
Permission denied (publickey,password).

I also tried the default password 'raspberry' .. still no luck

Is there something I am missing here? SSH seems to be working and activated on install. I made all the changes suggested on that thread. Still can't get anything though.

This could be related to the default UK keyboard used on the RPi. I used a special character in my password and this converted to " on the default UK keyboard and Locale. Make sure you set the Locale and Keyboard that match what you are actually using.

The response you are getting is telling you the answer. You are not providing the correct password. This means one of the following has occurred:

  1. When you attempted to change the password, you did not do this correctly
  2. When you enter the password, you are not entering it correctly

Try starting over. I would suggest that you not change the pi's password until a later stage, after you have things set up for your intended use.

Make sure the default password, raspberry, is actually the default password for your pi operating system.

I just realized, for example, that the pi-top operating system has a default password of pi-top, which is a super annoying thing for them to do, but it is what it is.

Extreme edge case: if you happen to be using a clipboard manager, try typing the password in like someone with real fingers… Habitually pasting from Launchbar failed across two re-installs before I thought to actually type the password <face palm>
