If rooting using the script is successful, you could connect using the generated ssh key pair. I haven’t used them on Windows (because bleegh), but from any unix they work fine. Once you have ssh access you can set the password you want.

The rooting script searches for a disabled root user, which is a known issue at the moment, as seen here.
If you really want to set a password from the script, you may be able to circumvent the issue by changing a line in payload/patch_toon.sh, but I haven’t been able to test this:
Change the line To

You can just easily set your root password from the uboot method. SSH login requires a root password to be set. It doesn't allow a empty password.

thanks , can u explane how to change the root passwd from u-boot login ?
i have changed the passwd file en removed the DISABLED from the root passwd but i have an empty password now.

best regards,trey

Code: Select all

sed -i -e "s/^root:DISABLED:/root:$PASSENC:/" /etc/passwd

To

Code: Select all

sed -i -e "s/^root:[^:]*:/root:$PASSENC:/" /etc/passwd

Thanks for that i had also my idea that the random passwd was not writed to /etc/passwd because it was never changed after rooted.
i try to change the script tomorrow and give it a try to root again.
i let you know what it does.

Think that this one will also work on uboot:
It change the root password to 'toon'

This is correct. Nice copy from the TSC script mAiden

So if i understand this is toon as root passwd ? (FTR0zlZvsHEF2)

Yep, that's the encrypted version of it.

yep this did the trick !
i can now login using password toon
the only question left about this problem is , can i use my own password ? and how can i change that from u-boot ?

thanks for this help.

You don't need the u-boot login method to change your password.
Please try to find out yourself how to change a root password on a linux machine. Some trying and looking yourself is appriciated in here.

You might find out how darn easy it is to change your 'passwd'. I think it is even mentioned in the manual.

I mean, all your earlier questions are a bit of : 'nah i don't like to figure out myself, just ask directly'

thanks.

I just want to point out that everything what you have asked was written in a manual, doc or asked multiple times on the forum before.

You can change the password by issueing the command Please note that some versions of busybox on Toon do not have passwd implemented. In these cases you will need to exchange the original busybox with the one from the forum file server.

Also, I think we should keep this thread focused on the rooting script. Many of the questions asked were not about the script at all, and just create noise which others may now have to dig through to find the information they need.

Fair point, let's also stick to our respectful way of communicating, and maybe encourage new members to ask their (sometimes basic or general) questions in separate threads.
