Probably not - I'd say it is configured to automatically be waiting for the
password for the midfun user account, which is blank. Entering the 'correct'
root password is still wrong for the midfun user, so authentication will
fail. If we could get a working terminal or tty1 on Ctrl+Alt+F1 to work then
we could get root access which would allow a lot more exploration of the
Linux installation.
