Resetting Login / Password on PS2 Tool query

You have a T10k H (that can use the network on the ps2 side).
T15k is the Performance Analyzer, Parris made a thread about it.
T14k is an add-on board for the T10k, official webpage is http://www.snsys.com/playstation2/dvdemu.asp

I have sent you a PM.

 

At present UJ also has the T14k available for sale on eBay, which would fit your unit, although I shouldn't be mentioning it as I am also bidding on it. D'oh!

 

sounds cool but i don't think i would be in the market yet

 

Ok when I see lilo and type "tool single" and goes through the whole lot of scrolling text and eventually (1 min later) it goes to the "devtool login" screen and I type in "passwd root" and then it says "Password: " and I type what password i want it to be. Then it says "Login Incorrect"
Then its says "Login :"

I then restart the unit and type the password I put in when the screen loads up again, and it still does not work. I pretty much know I am doing something wrong. Is there anyway you can explain the steps differently or in more detail. Thanks in advance.

 

When you get the initial "lilo:" prompt after the BIOS has listed the installed devices, press TAB to see the installed kernels. It should list two entries, "linux" and "tool", then give a new lilo prompt. If you see anything else, let us know; your TOOL might use a different linux installation, although I doubt it.
In the new lilo prompt, type "tool single". It should go straight to a bash command prompt without requiring a login name or password.

Are you sure your unit is set to TOOL mode instead of WS mode? On the front side of the left side panel (the one with the optical drive in it), near the bottom of the unit is a small hatch with two switches inside; set them to TOOL and DVD if they weren't already, then try again.
