Hmm, yes I think it's possible to patch the firmware so you can never connect again via USB. If I have a solution I'll let you know. 

These instructions should work as a non-permanent solution:

1. Connect using a terminal emulator to USB
2. Type   *b7#              to enter Forth
3. Type   5 AUData 52 + !   to disable the USB stream
4. Type   *b7#              again to leave Forth

After these steps, USB should be completely deaf until the LanBox is rebooted. Note that if the first *b7# fails ('?' response) you may have last uploaded firmware via TCP/IP. Re-upload firmware via USB to make it the Forth-enabled stream.

It would of course be even more convenient if USB could be convinced to ask for password, but I see no easy to way do that I'm afraid.
