Reread the readme and found nothing about it being able to change the root password so i have to figure out a way to change it i have root access through kual scripts

Okay i see how do i get the root password after updating to the latest firmware (wich changes it from the standard mario) usbnetworking gives me the ssh server but its rather useless without the root password ive tried echoing replacement content /etc/shadow but that just makes it so /none/ of the accounts can log in ive been considering running kubrick copying /etc/shadow to /etc/shadow.bak and then updating and replacing /etc/shadow with the content of /etc/shadow.bak would that solve the issue of the firmware updates changing my password? last night i acheaved my ssh server over wifi but i still cannot get a root shell over it ive tried using kual scripts to change the password but that doesnt work ether (dunno why yet)
