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.
