hmmm...I don't get really the point. so you have a root shell, but what do you want to reach???
when you install openssh it asks you as far as I remember for a new root password...did you try that, when you tried your ssh root@localhost?? the initial passwd is "rootme". what you then did I don't know
Anyway, everything about root access you find here
Cheers Daniel

There is no default root password (the root account is disabled out of the box). If you set one by running "passwd root" (as root) then that should work for ssh access. Just to make sure that the passwd change takes effect, run "grep root /etc/passwd" before and after the passwd command (the output should be different).

That used to be the default password a long ago, but not in OS2008.
@flp
You say you've got rootsh installed, so run "rootsh passwd root" and set a new password. And this should work considering rootsh is setuid...

The shell I'm running is ash, not bash. Is this the reason none of these commands are working??? I thought ash linked to bash.
When I try a command with sudo and it asks for the password, nothing I put in works. E.g., rootme, password, fakeroot, just hitting enter, etc...
Same with ssh root@localhost or when trying to ssh root@<ipaddress_of_device> from my computer.
I have rootsh and openssh installed. Typing in "sudo gainroot" on my device gives me access to the root shell but I still can't do ssh root@localhost with any of the passwords I've tried before. I've also tried "passwd" and "passwd root", in the root shell, but whatever new password I give it there doesn't stick.
Can I fix this without using R&D mode? Or if I can't, what do I do once I put the device in R&D mode?
Cheers, flp
