can't gain root/ssh > no more process left

I would like to make a backup before openwrt. On my EU Xiaomi gateway v2.

I have to connect uart to gateway : grd-grd/tx-tx/rx-rx. (when I tried it rx-tx/tx-rx it didn't show anything)

After changing the ROOT passwd, and i reboot, than this will be the end, and not "Input cmd:"
I can't even do anything, just restart manually. So I can't log in to go to the next step

====================================
========== start mi=================
====================================
.
umount: /mnt/.psplash: not mounted
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

I've seen problems on the latest firmware updates with disabled getty for the serial tty.
Try to log in to the single mode (through uboot) and uncomment getty for mxc0

sed -i "s/#mxc0/mxc0/" /etc/inittab

You'll be able to log in to the bash on the next boot.

Thanks for your reply. It works :)
