Hello,
How to do a password reset for a freedombox?
Yes, I forgot the password from my freedombox.
( Hardware is Olimex A20 "Pioneer" kit )
At https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/SecureShell
is only "change password" documented.
What I tried
* removed SD card from fdbx
* SD card into another Linux box
* mounted the SD card under /mnt
* sudo vi /mnt/etc/passwd # changed "fbx:*:" into "fbx::"
* SD card back in fdbx
* ssh fbx at myfdbx # but still a password prompt
What would be succesfull path to a password reset?
Groeten
