Use /sbin/grub-md5-crypt to create a password hash. Then, in your ks file add a line like this...
rootpw --iscrypted \$1\$vLOQS9GY\$HDQlZbYtdQ0/LT3RKxjD80 (where all the crazy text is the result of running grub-md5-crypt). -- cj -- ________________________________ From: prakash srinivasan <asprakash...@rediffmail.com> To: fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 9:45:14 AM Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] Password for fedora livecd Hello all, I added/removed some packages & created a fedora customized livecd using by the livecd-fedora-9-desktop.ks and livecd-fedora-9-base.ks files. When I am trying to access the system settings or any superuser's applications, its asking root password. I did not set any root password in the .ks file and I tried "root","", "fedora" & "toor" also. But no use. Somebody already posted the same query in this mailing list. But I did not find any proper reply for that query. Help me to disable the root password or how to reset the root password by editing my customized .iso. Regards, Prakash.
