I’m not sure if you figured this one out, but I did. I do hope mods don’t get upset about this…

I wanted to do the same thing and also fix the DST issue. I found it is due to the locale that is set.

I pulled the SSD, did a block level copy. Now I have a full image if the SSD dies. I was also able to pull the Linux Shadow file, run it through a password cracker, and got the password of “digital”. Oddly enough, I feel like I remember seeing this password somewhere on the forums a very long time ago.

I do forget what the username was. It might have just been root, but it also may have been something else. I should be able to find it if root doesn’t work.
