Always the root device. So /dev/sdb (I think you have the b and the d back to front) and make sure you umount it first.

My dyslexia at work. :)
It finally finished. And then did the uboot install booted up but....
My setup here has an hdmo/vga adapter plugged into a KVM switch that limits me to 1024x768 thus I cannot see the bottom of the change root password screen to know what keystroke (can't mouse down to what is below the screen) to accept the password change.
help please. :(

I always use serial cables with these ARM boards. A "CP2102" (search for that on Amazon) cable will set you back a few dollars and save you a lot of heartache!

I do have one around here somewhere. Got to find it and figure out how to use it.

You may also attempt to mount the sd card on another machine and surgically set the password in /etc/shadow. (or any other post install config tasks)
