Try to ssh to your 2008.08/2007.02, chroot to microsd card filesystem mountpoint (for me it was /media/mmcb*) and then simply change your debian password. Worked for me This is a good solution. I was going to take it, but first I wanted to see if I could fix the problem by connecting the external USB keyboard I finally got a USB A - mini USB A (5 pin) adapter for. I was disappointed that the keyboard didn't seem to get power nor did it get recognized (Fn keys didn't work), so, not seeing a better way, I did a power cycle to reboot and waited through the fsck. After this the keyboard still didn't work, but then I reconnected the USB to the host I was able to shell in using a blank password. So the password was reset from non-blank to blank after a (second) hard reboot. I haven't researched the keyboard problem - I assume I need a powered hub, but I'll read. No need to address that here.

As I couldn't shutdown cleanly I forced the power off, which broke the install, so I had to reinstall debian. No practical help, but at least you aren't the only one with the same problem :-) ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
