Root password?
 

Does anyone know how to get either the root or user passwords for the 810? I have tried the "rootme" mentioned for earlier models without success.

In local shell need packet becomeroot (as in 800). If you can get access out from (by ssh) - you need check enables root login by
sudo gainroot
vipw

and look symbol '!' after 'root:'

Install an app called "becomeroot". Then open Xterm and type "sudo gainroot"

To confirm that you are root type whoami and the reply should be root.

Hmm got some problem here:
Everytime I want to start "sudo gainroot" on my N800 OS2008 it tells me I have to "change to R&D Mode to break my device".

You can also while in R&D mode changed the root passwd then disabled R&D mode. Install openssh, then either "ssh localhost -l root" on the ITT or "ssh <ip>" remotely.

If I can change the root-password, why can't I use "sudo bash" to gain root access? currently "sudo bash" prompts me to enter the root-password.

btw: how to change the root password on maemo?
