Not sure what the problem is, but here's something that might help.
Reboot the machine.
At the LILO prompt, enter "linux single"
With any luck, it'll boot you up to a root prompt where you can try doing
it, or at least have access to some troubleshooting commands.

Subject: [Cooker] HELP!! Can't Change root password.
I Can't change root password with linuxconf or passwd. When I click on
the button in linuxconf it does nothing. When root and I type passwd it
says "passwd: Module is unknown", this only happens when root. Please
help! I'm running a cooker from yesterday.
