David,
Thank you for that specific page which I hadn't seen before. However I
did carry out those steps previously and click Save at the end. On my
phone there appears to be a small bug with the generated password, i.e.
that the Save button remains disabled and I have to delete then retype
the last character of the password to enable the Save button. However I
was not aware of the other steps on that page under the heading "Using
Developer Mode" which I will try. The phone is a Jolla phone which was
purchased with the Sailfish 3 image already on it. Before that I tried
to download a Sailfish X image onto I think it was an Xperia phone (or
whichever phone was recommended for Sailfish) but even though the phone
was unlocked it turned out to be a variant that did not allow flashing
of new images,
Regards,
Sahlan
