Have you installed anything else on your deck already in desktop mode, like Decky loader, emudeck, cryoutilities/etc?
Some of those have an option to set a default password to something like "deck". If you clicked through the setup on those it might have set a password without you realizing.
edit: Decky loader can temporarily set the password to "Decky!". It's supposed to remove the temp password after installation, but that's worth trying if you installed Decky. Right now I don't see a default password for emudeck or cryoutilities, but it's possible other deck install scripts might set one.
i do have deckyloader, i also know it sets the password temporarily to "Decky!" i tried that and it didnt work D:, i didnt try the password "deck" yet i will try that in a sec (it didnt work either)
