Read this thread, the answer is on the first page: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13397
Just to add on to this thread: the password for the root account was never known because the licensed PlayStation 2 developers never had access to the root account. The TOOL was always managed remotely from http://<TOOL unit's IP address>/english/ (or http://<TOOL unit's IP address>/japanese/, for the Japanese language option). The slash character at the end of the address is necessary. The default username and password for the network portal are both "Administrator". The TOOL unit's IP address is displayed on-screen from the PS2-side (through the Multi-AV out port), after the TOOL unit boots up. Debugging and development was done remotely on another PC. The TOOL is only for testing and debugging games, over the network. This is also probably why the PC-side interfaces (e.g. VGA connector and PS2 ports) are covered with a metal cap by default. Therefore, if the password is reset, the content of the TOOL's HDD won't be the same as how it originally was. Just a warning, for those who wish to preserve the original condition of their TOOL unit.
if use linux hack the root password to reset it, that will same you say , tool side got problem but if you use hardware test mode login (is will got same as admin right) than change admin password is fine no need open TOOL, no need live cd boot, it a easy
That's the point: the password was never meant to be available to outsiders. >_> If you change it through any method, then the content of the HDD becomes tampered with. I'm talking about keeping the HDD's content as original as possible.
Most of the people on this forum don't even have any idea how the tool are supposed to be used. They just want it to boot games so they can show off to friends how they can play a PS2 game disc in a $10,000 (original price) development kit. At least 80% of the tools being negotiated on the internet end on hand of collectors, not people who are going to use them with actual development of any kind.
On your development machine (not the TOOL, although it can be done with the TOOL at the expense of the authenticity of the HDD's content), enter "reset 0x000f0002 0x100" into dsedb. Your unit's flash image must be new enough to support disc booting. If you're planning to play games on a regular basis, you should probably use a retail console instead. They are generally made with newer and better parts, plus they are very common and cheap to procure.
Thank you. I am not intented to play games on this only to login a see what other feathure this machine have.
