I had the same problem today. What I did is the following:
- remove node0 and extract the boot sata ssd
- use a sata-to-usb adapter to connect the boot sata ssd to a Linux machine
- mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt
- vi /mnt/etc/passwd
- Remove the * in the line with the console user, save and quit
- umount /mnt
- Repeat for /dev/sdX3
- Reassamble node0 and connect to the serial console. I was now able to access the console user by pressing return on the password prompt.
