Can't log in as root on new Debian-5.15.158-oxnas install (no replies)

I have been running Debian 10 for 5 years on a Pogoplug Pro and decided it was finally time to upgrade. So, I downloaded Debian-5.15.158-oxnas-tld-2-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the link in the Linux Kernel 5.15.196 Oxnas (OX820) Pogo V3 package and Debian rootfs thread and loaded everything onto a new USB drive.

It boots up fine, but it won't let me log in as root with password "root". I've tried removing the encrypted password from /etc/shadow, but it won't accept a null password either. Also tried setting up SSH using the RSA keys and authorized_keys file from the Debian 10 install, but it rejects my key. Also tried adding a non-root user (copying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow entries from the Debian 10 system and setup its home directory), but won't let that user log in either (tried with both a password and no password).

I've even tried logging in with telnet, but no joy there either.

Once I get logged in, I can install sudo, reset root password, etc., but I can't get logged in.

Anybody have any ideas? The default password IS "root", right?
