Hello,
I have just recovered a Raspberry 4.0 that I had forgotten in the drawer and I had the username and password just forgotten as well. I found the following instructions in this forum viewtopic.php?t=31073 Basically it talked about editing the cmdline.txt file to launch a terminal when starting, and after that create a root user. After doing so, the Raspberry did not start. When I went to check the SD card, it showed errors, and after doing a chkdsk in Windows and accessing it again, I no longer see the structure of the operating system, but rather a series of files with strange names and size 0 and a few others with equally strange names and gigabyte size.
Do you have an idea of what happened? And most importantly,Can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance
