Lost Password to Debian on PS3. Need help or better documentation for recreating a live-cd
About a year and half or so ago me and a friend set up Debian on a PS3. For a while I could not boot into the ps3 but managed to get it running again. I was very excited to get back in a play on the Debian distro we installed until I found neither of us could remember the password he put on it.
Normally it would be nothing for me to burn another live distro, mount it, and reset the password. But getting a live distro to run on PS3 was a lot of work. Plus, since PS3 removed the "Install Other OS" option, a lot of documentation has disappeared. Most of the documentation left goes to dead links. Some of them I've managed to trace back with thewaybackmachine. I'm still struggling with the hierarchy of the folders to load on the disk though. I know if certain things aren't in specific places and named folders the PS3 won't see it at all.
Any information on how to boot live correctly or retrieve/reset my passwd will be greatly appreciated.

Any solution would be helpful.

Hi All,
It seems that someone in my organization had changed the root password
on a SCO Openserver 6 box.
Apparently, there are no emergency boot disks. I think they were never

NAME
dcposn - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - DICOM locate position
SYNOPSIS
dcposn [ -col|x n ] [ -row|y n ] [ -v|verbose ] [ -filename ]
DESCRIPTION
dcposn reads the named dicom input file and locates the requested image pixel position in 3D space using the attributes of the Image Plane
module (Image Position Patient and Image Orientation Patient) if present.
The spatial position is described as patient (not gantry) relative x, y and z co-ordinates, where x is +ve leftwards, y is +ve anteriorly
and z is +ve cranially.
OPTIONS
The co-ordinates and verbose output go to standard error.
The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:
-col|x n -row|y n
The specified image pixel position begins from 0 in the top left hand corner of the image.
-verbose
Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal, and dump contents while reading and once read.
-filename
Show the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if no filename was supplied.
ENVIRONMENT
EXAMPLES
%dcposn -x 0 -y 0 expmeta.dc3
Row=0 Col=0 X=45.0 Y=-119.5 Z=119.5
