I've searched the internet but to no avail. I am in a predicament, that being that I cannot access my N810 because i cannot remember my password. Resetting is not an option, as I need the info on her, her in this case being the N810. I do not see any simple solution to this problem (if you have one, please alert me), so I am issuing a challenge to end all challenges; find a way to let me brute force the password box.
My savior will win precisely:
- one (1) unit of admiration from yours truly
- three (3) mental-fives (I won't be able to physically hi-five you, so you'll have to excuse this scrubs reference [excuse it because I'm ashamed of my past relationship with this show that has become nothing more than trash]).

But I digress, so I shall leave it at... GO!

The reason for a password is so someone who doesn't know it can't get your information, so I don't think you can do this in an easy way that anyone here will help you with.

Sounds like a job for forensics. Unless you had the thing encrypted, you should be able to get at the data. How you do that may be tricky. If the data you need is on an MicroSD card it would be easier. If it is on the internal memory, you should still be able to pull the data off you need.

That's assuming the thing still works somewhat, and you haven't overwritten what was on the internal memory.

There is no simple solution. If you have a computer with Linux/Mac OS X then I can help.

dude_sweet: I have some on the microsd which I can just take out of the n810, but I mainly don't want to lose all the apps I installed, because it took forever to get the setup I have right now.

lardman: I do have ssh installed.

qwerty12: I have BackTrack2 on my flashdrive, so I can have a computer with linux if need be.

Hrm, lardman has an interesting point. If you can connect via ssh while it's asking, then this will be a lot simpler. if not, then I have another method...

And how would I go about attempting these two methods?

Smells like another new user posting for help on how to crack a password of a freshly stolen N810.

I've concocted this up. I'm not going to give a step by step.

Download flasher-3.0 into your backtrack install, download this initfs : http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/initfs/initfs.jffs2 , use flasher-3.0 to flash the initfs image only (read the help) and enable rd-mode using the flasher. When you boot the tablet, your lock code will be shown in the corner.

I will be deleting that initfs image at 8:00 PM GMT, so you've got ~2 hours to download it.
