Create user and password

Use OpenSSL to encrypt a password: echo 'raspi_users_password' | openssl passwd -6 -stdin

Create a file named userconf in the root directory of the SD card’s boot partition

touch /PATH/TO/THE/PARTITION/userconf

Add a line of text to the new file in the following format: username:encrypted_password where username is the username you want to use to log in to the Rpi, and encrypted_password is the string generated with OpenSSL.
