So you can actually bypass the code by typing actual asterisk ?

The old grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1 still gives 12345 but a 2nd result show up and looks as you said encrypted...
it's 13 char long so my guess is that it's simple DES.
It's also preceded by 7 bytes ... not sure what they are.

Though it must have been padded with some value as i can't seem to crack it fast for a 5 char code... Any idea what is used ? :-)

EDIT: uhm, interestingly, changing the code back to 12345 and then back to mine i get different hash.
Would the previous 7 bytes (actually it varied in size, but i'm just judging from visual chars on my terminal) just be the salt?
