   I can offer some suggestions: use version 1.85 of the Imager program.   
   It has solved some of the password entry issues of the older version.   
   Also it allows you to use a different user name than pi, but I like pi   
   so I use it.  Use the latest Raspberry Pi OS, either 64 or 32 bit as   
   appropriate.
