Re: [cobalt-security] No password needed to login as admin bug

["malcolm" <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

two things I can think of:

1. try a password of 8 characters or less (as Cobalt OS and Linux can be
picky on big passwords)
2. telnet in and su to root then change the password from there, admin# pwd
(this should overright the password inserted in the admin browser )

this might help but there are smarter people out there probably with better
answers :)
