Yay, it's turn to become locked out...

Device: N9pr1.3

I cannot access root with devel-su as I am getting "password incorrect".
I cannot access the phone withj SSH (connection refused)
Cannot edit sshd_config as I need root privilages
Cannot change passwd
Cannot find a hammer within close proximity to smash the bloody thing.

I have been through this thread and others + Links but still can't gain root access?

I have not tried opensh as the page linked above suggests you need open mode which I do not have as I'm using inception.

Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks
