Get root on MimoAP

1. Download a backup from your router firmware
2. Extract it, edit /etc/shadow, replace the hash of the root user with the one from the admin user
3. Recompress the folder hierarchy
4. Import this new archive as backup in MimoAP
5. Run ssh root@192.168.1.1 (replace with the IP address of your router) and use your admin password
6. Enjoy! (But you should really install a vanilla OpenWRT instead)
