Re: [U-Boot] change root password

hi,

How can I change root password??

I try this:

1. stop u-boot and add "init=/bin/sh" to the bootargs variable;
2. boot
3. passwd -d root (inside shell)

but this doesn't work!!!! When I reboot the machine, I cannot login with a new password.

Thanks, Nuno Cardoso.

This is not a U-boot issue; this is an issue with the operating system (at large) to which U-boot transfers control. If you are the designer of the OS, then you're basically the boss and you should check why your permanent storage does not keep the new password; if you use a predesigned OS, turn to the designers for assistance.

Amicalement,
