Executing 'passwd user' (or just passwd) would prompt you for a new password for the account specified (or if none given, the current logged in user), and the account password is the password you use to login via SSH. Well as far as I'm aware

[Edit]:
Is there any way to mount the root filesystem via USB?
I suppose that way a new passwd file may be copied over.
