PS3 - Logging Into Linux Issue

[Dup]

My friend recently bought a Jap PS3 second hand which came with Linux pre-installed. He went to settings, told it to switch to alternative operating system then rebooted. It then prompted him for a usename and password, sadly this he hasn't got!

He now cannot login to switch back to normal PS3 OS and thus cannot do anything with his PS3. I haven't seen what options he may have yet but I thought I would raise the issue here to see if anyone can help.

have you tried this when you restart your PS3, you will be greeted with the Other OS installer message. In case you're stuck with the Other OS installer and you want to go back to the Game OS, just press the Power button for 5 seconds or more when starting your PS3. Be advised that doing this will restore the PS3 to it's default factory resolution. Does that help?

If its YDL (yellow dog linux) when booting you will get a kboot section, type in boot-game-os
