Hello,

I'm new on this forum, I hope you won't mind for my poor English since it's not my natural language.

I have a problem which motivated my inscription here, I lost my sudo/root password(s).
First of all, I used becomeroot to put my own password on the tablet, to use SSH to get access to my lab's computers (I'm a PhD student, though I'm quite new to Linux, and a total noob to Maemo).
Everything went fine the first day when I remembered the password, but I didn't use any command requiring the password for several weeks, and I now don't remember my root/sudo password.

I would like to know if I can get this password back, or change it to another, or at least use a ssh client which doesn't need this password.

Thanks!

Thomas

PS: I googled for this problem but found nothing else than people who hadn't already used becomeroot.
