Lost ssh password

Postby notoneofmyseeds » Sun Jan 18, 2015 2:42 pm

More than a few years ago, I set up arch linux on my Pink pogoplug.

Now I can't log into it because I've lost the ssh password.

I need to set it up.

If you have any ideas on how I can solve this problem, please let me know. I know a reset switch is not an option. I know that password ceadmin or root does not work anymore, as I've tried that. I also know that removing the USB drive does not work.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Just go change it to something you know, with an offline edit.

Thanks so much. You have no idea how happy you've made me, at least, I know now that there's hope. Thanks a lot.

I however don't know how to begin to do what you'd suggested. Please, I ask, please, can you show/tell me, or point me in the direction where I can find out how to do what you've suggested, please.

And many, many thanks to you. May all your days be beautiful!

If you haven't updated your system in those few years it might just be easier to reinstall with a latest image.
