HP StoreVirtual products are storage appliances that use a custom operating system, LeftHand OS, which is not accessible to the end user. Limited access is available to the user via the HP StoreVirtual Command-Line Interface (CLiQ) however root access is blocked. However any privilege-escalation attacks would probably work.

The SHA-1 plaintext is badg3r5

The password can be easily found by googling the SHA1 hash.

And if no-one had posted the password it's easy enough to use any of the online "hash crackers" to get the password.
