Preamble
In the last episode, Part IV., I had some trouble accessing the Bluefield after firing up my ultimate Cloudlab setup in Part III. As a result of getting permission denied every time I tried to log in to the Bluefield, I decided to reinstall the whole operating system on it. I had the feeling that maybe someone has changed the password for fun.
