You *could* boot it single user and change the root password.

The port is still in progress, so there are no "bootable CD image"s yet. Right 
now the kernel builds and boots and there are drivers for some older devices. 
There is also a cross-toolchain(static) and some static userspace apps. There 
is a hardware database at,

http://216.208.98.4/

with entries for H20 and H50. Perhaps you could submit an entry for H30?

If you want to try the kernel on your H30 you can follow the recipe at,
