I also have tried root,mario. The only combination that works is framework,mario, but it does not give you the root rights to the device. And I am not sure when the root password has changed: when I flashed the main image file mmcblk0p1.img from http://pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT or after I did the update to new firmware 4.1.0 |
You need hostar's root pw. You can use john the ripper with the fiona wordlist, or ask hostar for the pw...
When I added ssh to dasmoover's 5.0.0 diags, I replace HIS diags root password hash with the "mario" pw hash from my K4, in /etc/shadow (using a text editor). It would be a good idea for all uploaded main and diags partitions to have their passwords changed to DES mario (using a text editor to copy the hash), just to prevent people not knowing the root password (or serial number) of the original owner of that partition image.
From a framework:mario login, you can do "cat /etc/shadow", then copy paste that to a file on your host PC, then use john (the ripper) to crack it "instantly" using the fiona wordlist in the tools index. It would be helpful to publish that pw here for others who have this problem.
