You might try (from the pi account):
sudo -l
(or)
sudo bash --login
passwd
I just did it on a brand new fresh raspbian-buster-lite; it worked fine
and let me su - (with the newly established password) and presumably
would let me log in directly. The approach is a bit old-school and
eventually I will set the image up to allow ssh as the only network
access, ssh to root from the local host only, and no passwords allowed,
as on other systems here.
