From what I remember, UBPorts does support alphanumeric passphrases, but you have to select that option in the settings. Otherwise, you won't get the correct keyboard on the lock screen.
Yes, I installed jumpdrive, but what are the specific commands I can use to mount eMMC in the computer? Also, there is not enough info for telnet options. Is there an option to factory reset UBPorts via telnet? When connected it looks like many usual Linux commands are not available.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Yes, I understand your concept. Boot from SD card navigate to eMMC file tree and edit the /etc/passwd/ file? Need to try this out. Will update later.
Thanks.
