I have the V3 running and I can see the SanDisk image, but I can not mount
the partition inder Linux. This won't stop me from looking at the raw
disk. From what I have been told, the shadow file has been removed, and
the password with it. There is no encrypted password to crack as a normal
login is prevented by removing the shadow file. A string search for "root"
on the raw image suggests that there is a .rootPassword file.
A breakthrough is probably going to require figuring out how to change
things through the modem port. Diverting the phone call after it dials out
is no problem. Duplicating the normal login sequence and finding out what
commands will allow modification of the sandisk is quite another problem.
Till then, scraping epoxy is the only known way of hacking the V3.
