[Freedombox-discuss] password reset

[Geert Stappers]

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?
