This is a good solution. I was going to take it, but first I wanted to see if I could fix the problem by connecting the external USB keyboard I finally got a USB A - mini USB A (5 pin) adapter for. I was disappointed that the keyboard didn't seem to get power nor did it get recognized (Fn keys didn't work), so, not seeing a better way, I did a power cycle to reboot and waited through the fsck. After this the keyboard still didn't work, but then I reconnected the USB to the host I was able to shell in using a blank password. So the password was reset from non-blank to blank after a (second) hard reboot. I haven't researched the keyboard problem - I assume I need a powered hub, but I'll read. No need to address that here.
