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
