MyBookWorld (white edition) firmware bug on password change for TimeMachine user

I fall in this bug when I had tried to change default password of WD_Backup user by Web UI.

Web UI goes in error using password different then the default one (“backup”), it messes up in the /etc/passwd file with the WD_Backup entry so the user is not to able login anywhere, anymore.

I found a fix in this blog
