Updated Rpi2 to v7.90.004 ALPHA - skin issue

I updated my RPi2 to v7.90.004 ALPHA. I was running Aeon Nox and it now boots into Kodi with a srambled Aeon Nox screen. Remote does not respond and Samba is not available either. Any easy way to reset the skin?

Haven't looked at the sd card and thought I would share here in case the skin caused this (for future updaters)

If you have SSH access you could fire up putty and:

systemctl stop kodi
mv /storage/.kodi/userdata /guisettings.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata /guisettings.xmlbak
systemctl start kodi

That would restart into the default skin (but not reset aeon nox).
You can reset aeon nox manually by deleting the contents of /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/skin.aeonnox (foldername might not be right, it's a guess) when the skin's not running.

Samba / remote not working doesn't sound promising though.

update: Samba does work. Somehow my ip changed, had access and after fiddling for some time managed to change skin to estuary. Could not go to appearance in settings but deinstalled the skin in add-ons. Would be neat if it doesn't boot with an unworkable skin after update.
