Cannot unlock pinephone

Now, at the lockscreen I am prompted with a numeric keypad, but - as my password is not simply numeric - I cannot unlock.

I have not been able to access the phone via ssh (I am not sure of the IP address), and UBports installer does not recognize the phone when I plug it into my computers USB port.  I can access the phone via telnet ($ telnet 172.16.42.1) but from that interface I cannot do much ("sudo: not found", "su: not found", "passwd: not found", etc.) and so cannot change my login password.

My next plan is to try and boot from an SD card.  But if anyone has advice on how to access the phone to change the password (I know what the login password is I am just unable to type it at the lockscreen!), or to wipe and restore to factory presets without logging in, that seems much easier.

Many thanks!

You can using the factory test OS to reprogram eMMC back to factory default state. Here is the link: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...ry_Test_OS
