[split] Forgotten Login password

[dosch]

what if you have forgotten your ssh password...?

[Nutul]

The only thing I can think of is to connecta keyboard + monitor, and change the password with sudo passwd...
Another way is more polite:
1. make a backup of your configuration
2. re-install / flash the moOde image (AND TAKE NOTE OF THE PASSWORD...)
3. restore the backup

To use "sudo passwd" at the command prompt to create a new password you first need to login to the terminal with your old password.

I think the only remedy for a forgotten login password is to create a Backup via System Config then start with a fresh image and Restore the backup. That should get you going.
