 Normally, for setting the password, one has to be able to run passwd. However that's not possible in this case since an x86 system can't run ARM binaries. Therefore, it is needed to modify the file that contains the passwords (/etc/shadow) to set a default root password.

 Once you have the card ready, put it into your device, and you should be able to boot it. If you have a debug port you will be able to see the boot process using minicom or similar program on another PC connected with the debug cable.
