Passwort recovery Nexus 5000

Um ein Passwort wiederherzu stellen muss man beim Bootvorgang nach “Checking all filesystems…” die Tastenkombination strg + ] drücken.

Leider geht das nicht so einfach mit einer Deutschen Tastatur. Der Trick dabei ist es die Tastatur auf englisch zu stellen und die Tasten strg+ + (Steurungstaste und das Pluszeichen) zu drücken.

Checking all filesystems....r. done.
