If you can still get in through the GUI, change the password under the
Users -->Administrator top button.
If you still can't get in, the paper-clip method but hold down till it
makes a small click and for more than 2 seconds.
The qube2 only recognizes the first 8 characters of your password, but
try the first 8 and then all seperatly if greater than 8.
If you can telnet in, it is possible to change the admin password with
the "passwd" command, though you may end up with a different Admin and
Root Password, and this breaks the link between the two, and you will
no longer be able to do the "su -" command and will possibly ruin any
SSH ability to "su" to root.
You need to purchase the Restore CD from the cobalt.com site for only
$29 and use to bring your system to normal status if there is no other
way to get in. 
Hope this helps.
