When I sudo gainroot in a terminal I get the following:

cal_read_block (r&d_mode): size zero, block not found?
Enable RD mode if you want to break your device.


With Dropbear installed I followed the instructions of:

dbclient root@127.1

This gets me to the password prompt, but of course as I said, the default pass "rootme" doesnt seem to be working. Could there be some other problem? Perhaps a way to reset the root pass?
