MOD or Admin : it's FIXED you can delet the post if you want

it's wired i don't understand why but i can't login to SSH as root or with any of the existing user. ( all the password seems to be false)
all my password seems to don't work anymore ( i can't login anymore to the vsftpd, httpd or the webif ) BUT samba works and i can login to my samba directory.

anone have an idea what's up on my Mybook and how i can fix that ?

i suppose something happend to the file containing the password but i don't have any idea how

dunno why but i"m lucky to have acces now to the webpage so i have try to make a new user with it to test on SSH
it's worked i could login to the SSH but impossible to login as root

i have think i could try to use again the martin hinner SSH hack to try to reset the password of the admin to blank but that don't work.. when i use :
http://192.168.2.2/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl?fwserver=martin.hinner.info/mybook/firmware.php
i have a BLANK page and nothing else

anyone have an idea to reset the root passwd ?
( i also have acces to VSFTD now with the new user i have created )
i have check the /etc dir to see where the password are, i think thye are saved in the files "shadow" but the problems i can't read the file or do anything
i need to found a way to chmod this file perhaps and after i could see the password no ?
if yes how can i chmod this file to read it ?

i know i can try to mount the drive on another linux but : i don't have a pc with linux and i don't to open the Mybook if i can

Fixed

in first i have make a NEW user with the web interface

i was lucky to have acces to both samba and vsftp ( with my user created on web interface )

unfortunaly on vsftpd i haven't acces to passwd and shadow files cos i don't had autoriation to read and write

BUT i was lucky to have ALL the permission on the directory /var/oxsemi/ so i have add a share on samba to the path /

after on windows i have edited /passwd and change id and uid of the user i used for ssh to 0:0 ( so he was root )
after that i was able to acces to ssh and do what i want.

now the problems i had was simple in fact i don't know why and how but on the file /passwd i had at the end of EACH line : ^M
i haven't see that with nano but i see it with vi
so i have used vi and remove all the ^M
:wq and after everything was back
i could login again as my root user and all the other account

if someone know why or how my passwd files have been modify with ^M at the end of each file i'm curious to know

^M has been added by Windows editor … it's a known effect.
It depends which one you used, that's why if possible i never use Windows editor to edit a linux file.
