on mine the password was set at startup by a script (found it when poking around in failsafe mode, which logs in automatically without a password.) after finding the password i was able to boot normally, disable the script, and change the root password.

This initially worked for me (interrupting via keystroke in the three seconds countdown), then logging in with root:serial, but after flashing to a snapshot (I flashed many due to an at-the-time mysterious issue with WAN not working that was ultimately resolved with a patch via commit), that prompt indicates "wrong password". No idea why this happened - I didn't think uboot would get modified.

Trying with the wrong password, it then drops me to an IP807x# uboot shell prompt with very few commands (I think this is busybox), can't copy in the open.sh and run it, but I was able to get back to booting via tftpboot by copying and pasting the lines one by one to set the env variables (had to change from "fw_setenv" to just "setenv".

Having no idea what was going on, and to follow whatever directions were available, I shorted the clock pin to 3.3v during the window described in this repo and was able to get everything back together as described above.
