I feel stupid... really stupid.

Back in November I read something about changing the default "rootme" password to stop people tunnelling in. I did this and thought that I used one of my standard passwords. I have decided to tunnel into the N810 myself and have found that I can't. I've used every password that I can think of but still no joy, am I doing it right?

I installed Open SSH (Server and client combined)
I bring up a terminal on my Mac
Type "root@192.168.1.4" (This is my current IP)
It asks for a password
I get the password wrong.

Is there a way for me to reset the password from the tablet? I have installed easyroot but am unsure of how to use it externally. I can use it fine from the NIT's terminal.

Thanks in advance, BTW I feel like such a lemon.

Install rootsh. Get a root shell. Reset the password.

I love you guys, thanks very much that did the trick.

(I did the Sudser method because it was already installed, I'm sure Ryan's method works well too)
