Thanks guys,
learned a lot from this thread, especially from Almut's reaction!
What I tried to do is copy the encrypted password from /etc/shadow
to newly installed system and kept running into trouble because of the
$'s in the string.
Finally I thought about
usermod -p 'encrypted password' username
which solved the issue. (shame)
Sincerely,
Jan.
