N800 root password

From Smith family

To get the root password, and hence SSH access, to the N800 internet tablet, follow these instructions: [1].

Basically:

  • Install the OpenSSH server
  • In an X terminal, give the commands:
$ sudo gainroot
# passwd
and give root a password.
  • Find the N800's IP number from the window menu (top-left corner) of the Connection Manager.
  • SSH into it at root@192.168.0.2 (or whatever the N800's IP number is)
