A new way to get to the root prompt?

I think I have found a way to get to a login prompt another way. Unfortunately, I can't boot my IO now. In the modem settings (to change dial-up number, etc.) I put as the dialup number "|/app/stop-apps" and it dialed out (and stopped at a login prompt.) I don't know the password, though. The "osiw$6.4" one doesn't work. Now I'm screwed. I have the Any ISP image on the Sandisk.

What do I do?

Well, I was able to fix the problem. See, when I put the dial up number in the settings to stop all applications, the i-opener wouldn't restart. It would stick at the i-opener startup screen no matter what. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL on a regular keyboard made the dialing light turn solid and then the system turns off.

I pressed power to turn it on. As soon as the dialing light started blinking, I pressed power again to turn it off. Then turn it on again. Then, the system came back to life! I immediately changed the dial-up number to 00000 and pressed Enter to save it.

I also found out some info, which I don't know if it's new. It's about where things are in the i-opener's interface. This stuff is weird. I found it out by printing some pages out (with the Print button on the keyboard) in the config pages, etc. I have a Cannon BJC-2110 printer.

Home menu: file:/web/i-opener/for_iopener.html
404 error: file:/n/np/web/msg_404_DNS.html
Config pages: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/xxml?template=/web/i-open (The URL continues, but this is all that I could see on the paper.)

It just leads me to think that the entire OS is the web browser (running on top of QNX, of course.)

Yet again... another post.
I can't access the links I posted from the web browser. You need to click a link of some sort. It doesn't want you opening the URLs yourself. I made an experimental web page on a Geocities account and dialed out to use the links.

I'm printing out the memserv.xxml file right now. I had to use a link to file:/web/i-opener/memserv.xxml to get to it.

I have an intresting tidbit of info from it...


<COMMENT> Get the root password </COMMENT>
<IF expr="$p 'msg_code' [] '0' <">
<THEN>
<DSM action="read"
var="$root_password"
dataset="$nvram;"
entry="logical"
attribute=".rootPassword"
retcode="$rc"/>
<IF expr="$rc '0' != $root_password null eq ||">
<THEN>
<ASSIGN var="$p[msg_code]" expr="'1'"/>
</THEN>
</IF>
</THEN>
</IF>

EDIT: It just finished printing. 28 pages! (If you're gonna print it, there is no print button on screen. Press the Print key on the keyboard (that's F10) to send the print.)

Now that I look at it a little more closely, it seems like there's things about the AnyISP version in here (like checking if the i-opener has it or not) and setting config pages to show certain pages (like a regular i-opener wouldn't see the ISP settings page while an AnyISP one would see it. memserv.xxml handles that. A few changes, and you may be able to pull up that page.)

I'm sorry I keep posting. The stupid modify tells me I can't modify my posts. Why is there a 5-6 minute timeframe to modify posts?

Okay, I think I'm giving up some hope here. I need some help with this! I am so confused.

I can run commands with the dial-up number (as in putting "|<conmmand here>" into the number field on the iO.) I can only type up to 30 characters. Is it possible somehow to run a command prompt from the number? What graphical terminals are available on QNX?

Oh, and I'm posting this from the i-opener itself in it's QNX.
