https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sbh5N1eMKsO85fkaMoAJnVT2VTifAoy4uZtJCJ4BEN4/editGood day, I am trying to install Raspberry Pi model 4″headless” following your tutorial that is referenced in the MQTT set up using a Raspberry for the host.  I have a MAC  with the current Ventura OS.  I hope the link to google docs  showing the terminal results is attached.  I have no idea how to “add correct host key in /var/root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of the offending ED25529 key in /var/root/.ssh/known_hosts:1”. Hoping you can save me.   Judson

I have not solved this issue. I was able to log on once on a second computer but found that now I get this same message on both. I erased both Mac Pros and restarted from scratch 2 times on each. No luck.  It seems that once there is a key that is incorrect, the raspberry pi clamps down due to a hacking concern.  I saw a post about getting into the referenced file and putting in the appropriate key or just deleting keys. Any help is greatly needed and appreciated. A google docs link to the message is included.  I am careful about keeping the host name and username straight as well as keeping the system password and raspberry pi passwords straight.

Hi.
I found the following issues:

– https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=104253

Seems to be the same as yours.
Check the proposed solutions and let me know if that fixes your issue.

Thank you. I saw those referenced links and tried what I could.  Most of them were outside my capabilities.  
Found an easy solution.  I simply started over(for the 7th time) but changed the “host”name.  It appears that once I previously entered an incorrect password or changed the username, the pi perceived me as an invader.  Just by changing the host name, seems to be working.
