easy solution for that, run following 2 commands and enter new root password:

opensh
passwd

Thanks, just tried and it says
"The password for user cannot be changed."
Starting to look grim.

Also wanted to mention that opensh is returning a "not found" msg.

and the long version:
Code:
On linux side:
$ sudo apt-get install wget
$ wget http://alturl.com/4x6n2 -O opensh.deb
$ scp opensh.deb developer@192.168.2.15:.
$ ssh developer@192.168.2.15
and on device
$ killall pkgmgrd
$ pkgmgr install-file -f opensh.deb
$ opensh
$ passwd

Outside of going to the Nokia Service Center, is there a way to reset the Meego Terminal password?

Thank you in advance to anyone for any advice...I know I'm shooting myself in the foot for not remembering
Yes, there is an easy way. It is just FLASH your N9. After flashing developer mode would be reset. You have to enable it and download dependencies. The password will be default one i.e 'rootme'. Don't forget to take backup using Nokia Link before you flash. :)
