I am trying to gain control of my Limelight 3G by SSHing into it. This is because, for whatever reason, the AprilTag functionality on this Limelight is not working at all (it does not detect any AprilTags, no matter whatever any of the team members do). I tried to do ssh limelight@[IP ADDRESS] using the IP address shown in the Limelight hardware manager, but the SSH program asked me for a password, which I did not know. How can I figure out the password, so that I can access my Limelight?
This isn’t a direct answer, but might be helpful. (Given that no one has posted a simple answer yet, I suspect there might not be a simple one.)
Here’s how someone else got ssh access on a LL2:

If we’re talking hacking, you can also run whatever you want through the custom Python script feature.

I was able to modify the SSH password by unpacking the OS image and editing /etc/shadow, repacking the image and flashing it to the LL. Worked like a charm.

As @Crafter mentioned above, you can modify the root password in the limelight image before flashing it to your limelight. Here’s a quick walkthrough using ubuntu linux:
