By usb, you mean the usb console?

You can put the sd card in an sd card reader attached to another linux
computer and edit the file /etc/passwd to remove the password. That
should let you login in again. It might be in the shadow password file also.

Yes, it looks like the actual password is in /etc/shadow. Edit this file
to remove the password hash.

Also, this question is better suited to the usrp-users list, so I copied
that list also.
