| 03:42.48 | epsilon5 | I just got a Zaurus SL-5500 from a friend and I was working with it earlier. Anyway, I went into "/etc/passwd" and change "root"user to "epsilon5". Now the 5500 comes up to an OpenZaurus screen and login prompt. |
| 03:43.01 | epsilon5 | Nothing further |
| 03:43.24 | epsilon5 | Does anyone know how to recover from something like this? |
| 03:44.40 | DrBoB | did you login as root? |
| 03:45.07 | epsilon5 | When I changed the "/etc/passwd" |
| 03:45.26 | epsilon5 | THe system was rebooted and that is when I ran into problems |
| 03:45.47 | epsilon5 | Now the system is stuck at a login prompt |
| 03:46.01 | DrBoB | and you can't login? |
| 03:46.09 | epsilon5 | Correct. The keyboard does not function properly either. |
| 03:46.43 | epsilon5 | I tried to enter the new account and the keyboard acts as if I'm in the wrong terminal emulation |
| 03:47.02 | DrBoB | go into diagnostics screen and boot to command prompt as single user |
| 03:47.22 | epsilon5 | Not that it is, but the similar style of proble, |
| 03:47.44 | epsilon5 | How do you go into the diag screen? |
| 03:47.54 | epsilon5 | There is no UI present |
| 03:48.06 | epsilon5 | only command line login |
| 03:48.07 | DrBoB | then delete your passwrd file |
| 03:48.27 | epsilon5 | how do I do that? |
| 03:48.51 | epsilon5 | how do I boot into single user mode? |
| 03:49.02 | epsilon5 | on the Zaurus |
| 03:49.28 | epsilon5 | Hmmm |
| 03:49.41 | DrBoB | unplug and remove battery... press (I think) OK button while powering on |
| 03:49.47 | epsilon5 | cool |
| 03:49.51 | epsilon5 | I'll try that |
| 03:50.29 | epsilon5 | I'll be back with the results. Thanks for your time DRBoB. |

| 03:51.26 | DrBoB | it's been a long time since I messed with a 5500 |
| 03:52.50 | epsilon5 | No luck there |
| 03:53.00 | epsilon5 | Same command line login |
| 03:55.06 | DrBoB | what does the command line login look like? |
| 03:55.36 | epsilon5 | "Please wait: booting..." |
| 03:55.45 | epsilon5 | openzaurus login: |
| 03:55.53 | epsilon5 | that's it |
| 03:56.04 | DrBoB | type in epsilon5 |
| 03:56.16 | DrBoB | then type in your password |
| 03:57.13 | epsilon5 | The keyboard is not responding much |
| 03:57.38 | epsilon5 | This wasn't a problem before I goofed it up. |
| 03:58.22 | epsilon5 | It's strange that "/etc/passwd" change dinked up the system since the UID is still "0" |
| 03:58.47 | epsilon5 | which is the root user value |
| 03:59.36 | DrBoB | once you get logged in you type " rm /etc/passwd " |
| 03:59.57 | epsilon5 | Still trying. |
| 04:00.02 | DrBoB | then reboot |
| 04:01.08 | DrBoB | anyone who knows how to boot a 5500 into diagnostics menu please feel free to tell us the magic key combo |
| 04:01.25 | Kevin` | not d+m? |
| 04:02.42 | DrBoB | I'm using a C1000 and forget |
| 04:03.27 | epsilon5 | I'm trying to google it right now |
| 04:03.49 | epsilon5 | hopefully I'll find how to get into the diag screen |
| 04:07.37 | DrBoB | then you should be able to dump into single user mode...delete (rm) the password file and hopefully that should restore things.... |
| 04:08.18 | DrBoB | assuming that's all you did...change the root password and name |
| 04:09.26 | epsilon5 | The <d> + <m> isn't working |
| 04:09.30 | epsilon5 | still looking |
| 04:10.22 | Kevin` | did you remove all power to the device? |
| 04:10.28 | epsilon5 | yes |
