PineTab2 first use

I can't get into recovery to change the password like I normally could either. Maybe with a USB keyboard?

Other than that, it's pretty nicely put together. I really like all the ports it has -- I've been missing my video out port since I had to give up my Atrix! My only concern is that the hinge of the cover is just a double sheet of vinyl, that's definitely going to start tearing at some point well before the rest of it wears out.

Edit: Okay, a very quick search lets me know that the password for user "alarm" is "123456" Posting here in case others need it.

Since I've used the Danctnix Arch Linux distro on my pinephone I was used to it! But I can see where it's a bit of a puzzle. Others have posted about finding some kind of users manual in theirs and mine didn't have anything.

btw, the wiki is https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2, hopefully that'll save some others some searching.

Haven't tried the video out options yet, but that will be a nice addition!
