Last Christmas I got a RPI2. I have recently started up OpenElec and need to get access to the terminal.

The reason I won't use the Rpi's offical os is because I can't enable wifi.

There is no exit option on the power menu and I have tried pressing escape on the OpenElec splash (I can't remember if it was OSMC or OpenElec)

So, how do I get access to the terminal on Kodi with RPI2?

To the best of my knowledge there is no terminal access in OpenELEC. There is, per Ghanima's comment above, an Exit option and terminal access in vanilla Kodi on Raspbian, but not in OpenELEC.

The instructions on the OpenELEC homepage recommend using Putty to create an SSH session from a remote machine, with the default username root and the password openelec.

type CTRL-ALT-F3 to bring up a terminal window. to exit it, it's CTRL-ALT-F1 (I believe, try others if that doesnt work)
