pluto sdr forgot root password

Question

Hi, 
 I changed the root password by 
 device_format_jffs2 
 device_passwd 
 commands ( wiki.analog.com/.../customizing) and after a while I forgot the password ((( 
 I tried firmware resetting and DFU reset, it didn't work, is there a way to reset everything and get the default root/analog password ? 
 is there a way to reset jffs2? 
 
 Thanks

Hello, 
 
 In case you haven't tried it, there is a mechanism which allows you to revert to the default password using the config.txt file on the mass storage device. Add revert_passwd = 1 under the [ACTIONS] section. After that, save the file and eject (do not unplug) the Pluto. After 2-3 seconds the drive will reappear. You can read further about this procedure here: https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/customizing#config_file_actions 
 
 Let me know if that solves the problem.)
