Especially: Write down your root password and DO NOT factory reset the device if you want to go back to the original state.
If you follow these steps and you know a bit about linux you'll be fine.
Factory reset on the rM2 will mess with the community framebuffer service and reset your root password, effectively locking you out unless you go the fiddly way over the external port.
The rM1 is very resilient as you can directly access the internal storage without special tools.

- kayodelycaon 5y agoThe factory reset feature clears personal data off the device and resets the root password. So... it's not a factory reset.
