root access on a DK IV?

2012-02-20 by Horatio Kemeny

I've noticed this question has been asked in the past, but never answered because it seems people were able to do whatever they were wanting to without having to resort to logging in and messing around at the lowest level.  Indeed, I hadn't really played with DKVBrowser until I ran into here in the archives, and it resolved what I was trying to do, which was rename a bunch of CDs whose titles and contents didn't import properly.

Nevertheless, I'm interested… I know my way around Unix environments and would like to poke around the file system. I get as far as a login prompt via telnet, but nothing obvious seems to work with respect to login/password.

Before I resort to nefarious means for hacking into my own piano (lol) does anyone know the root pw? Or would it have been set locally by an installer in town (and therefore they're all different?)

Many thanks,

…..HK
