After update to 4.1.0 password was changed. /etc/shadow file in diags partition was replaced (maybe it was done another way) with /etc/shadow- in main (mmcblk0p1) partition. Main partition also has /etc/shadow with mario password. What if somebody edit image file and replce /etc/shadow- with /etc/shadow? Will this hack work? It might break the firmware update if it will check the shadow file during update (not only 4.1.0 but future updates).
