Trying to access config.txt to edit on RPi 2 using Nano 5.5 via ssh for first time. I can't bring up lines or execute commands as the ~# is not there after initial programme login. Any ideas?

make sure you are Root...

I think root access is default but will check.

Please note that there is a difference between root and admin.

If I have understood your question correctly, you'd like to execute a command you need root permissions for, am I right?
Alternatively to being a root user, you can use the 'sudo' command.
Hope that helps.

With this flavour root is default, but thanks.

I think you have an ssh issue

you could try the following command
su - root

this will preserve root paths.
you sould try it!
