Question
I forgot my password when I telnet in as root. What should I do?

Response
To reset the password, you will need a paper clip. Push the paper 
clip into the reset button below the On/Off button on the
Qube, or the reset button to the right of the LCD panel on 
the RaQ, for approximately 2 seconds. At this point, the LCD will
show, "Resetting Admin Password." 

Then using the web browser, you may go in and set a new admin 
password. If it prompts you for a username and password,
use "admin" for the username, and any name for password. 

Do this quickly, to minimize any security risks.
