# Password Reset

If you've lost your password and have access to the BashBunny storage in arming mode, set the password to `hak5bunny` with this payload:

```
#!/bin/bash
LED SETUP
ATTACKMODE SERIAL
echo -e "hak5bunny\nhak5bunny" | passwd
LED FINISH
```

1. Save the above as `payload.txt` in the `/payloads/switch1/` directory.
2. Safely eject the BashBunny drive.
3. Flip the switch to position 1
4. Plug in the Bash Bunny and wait for the green blinking FINISH pattern.
5. Login via Serial with the root password `hak5bunny`
