sdcard upgrade from v3.4834, login not possible

I have v3.4834 running nice on my rpi. Installed it by putting the downloaded image on the sdcard.
Now I want to upgrade to the latest version. I can't find any image that I can put on my sdcard. I only see that the upgrade can be done trough an command (sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com | bash). Therefore I have to log in on my rpi.
As far as I know that should be possible with the standard login 'pi' and password 'raspberry'. But it looks as if these are not valid. I didn't change the password after installing the image.
Anybody know how to log in in this case. I use Putty to connect to my rpi.

Did you search the internet to reset the pi password?

I did search but didn't find anything usable. I didn't find your link.
I tried it. After the command "passwd pi" I was asked for the new password. I typed (twice) "raspberry" in order to get the default password again.
Reply was "Authentication token manipulation error" and "password unchanged". Tried it with a different password, same result.
So I am still stuck.

Did you read the last paragraph: ERROR WHEN CHANGING THE PASSWORD:

That error instruction was printed on the reverse side of the paper and I obviously overlooked it.
That worked fine.
The upgrade to the latest version of domoticz did work out perfect.
Thanks
