I have a new Buffalo LS-WXL NAS and I would like to root it. It has the newer firmware version, 1.43, and the instructions for rooting it (<a href="http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Category:LS-WXL">http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Category:LS-WXL</a>) have not caught up with the new firmware. However, I was able to unzip the firmware to my laptop and it appears that ssh root login is now enabled in the stock firmware. I confirmed this by trying ssh to the machine.....but, I need the root password to login. How can I extract the root password from the file system for the device? I just have the file system unzipped on my hard drive, I don&#39;t have access to it running.<br>
<br>I assume Linux/Linus has made it impossible to get at the root password this way (e.g. from a copy of the file system), but I thought I would ask anyway before I try to install some custom firmware on the NAS device. <br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Mark<br>
