Thanks Patryk for the help. Operating system is hackable:1.
But when I try to edit /etc/passwd, it asks for root password, which I do not have. -Thanks Harshil. -----Original Message----- From: support-boun...@lists.openmoko.org [mailto:support-boun...@lists.openmoko.org] On Behalf Of Patryk Benderz Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 1:30 PM To: support@lists.openmoko.org Subject: Re: Urgent help [cut] > I am currently using openmoko neo freerunner. It is good to provide more informative subject of mail, and let us know which operating system do you use. If you do this next time you will get help faster and better suited for your needs. Because you didn't provide that info, below hints might be inaccurate. > 1.I have forgotten the root password. How to reset my root password? You might try to open terminal and execute `passwd`, or open terminal and edit /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow to empty password string. Most likely the terminal will be started with root privileges, so you will not need to provide root password to edit these files. > 2.I want to install wpa_supplicant on that machine, how can I do that? I assume you mean the smartphone by saying "machine". If so, than probably all you need is here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_WLAN > 3.How can I access and install applications on my phone from my linux > desktop? again, that depends on operating system that you use...
