just registered to share another solution. I wasn't able to connect via telnet (only ssh) and my /etc/shadow had no proper info about root password. I copypasted its content into some hash-decoder and I got only «framework» user data.
however! it's even easier to solve this way: when you create new ssh keys you can save public/private keys on your disk, so just use the private one to unlock your root access. you can attach it in putty's auth options. no hacks needed. hope it will help someone.
