   Question if I may? How do you get to the /etc/shadow file if you   
   can't log in to the pi?   
      
   Probably a couple of years ago now I created my own userconf file   
   which along with an empty SSH file I drop into a newly burnt SD card.   
   This works just fine for me but I would love to know how get to   
   anything on the other partition without logging in. I am unaware of   
   any way to see the main partition when the SD card is plugged into a   
   PC.   
      
   Thanks.   
      
   Bob.
