Code:

BusyBox v1.19.3 (Debian 1.19.3power5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ root


BusyBox v1.19.3 (Debian 1.19.3power5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N900:~# echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1):
root::
Nokia-N900:~#

the lock code is definitely not 12345

pali, I think you wanted to say:

Code:

grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1

What may also work (at least it does for me, I think never changed/set that lock code):

Code:

root
grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1 |tail -16 |head -1

It shows
"12345"
in plain clear text
