  1. Power on the thin client

  2. Press ‘SHIFT’ during boot procedure

  3. Now you can get LILO prompt, type: vga simple (I have tried without success to run directly init=/bin/bash the system start but don’t load correctly the filesystem on flashdrive)

  4. After kernel starting up procedure you can’t see nothing, then you can jump on terminal 2 pressing ‘ALT + F2’

  5. Now on bash# prompt simply digit ‘passwd’ for setup new password

  6. Reboot the system and use your new password
