I recently installed debian 7.1 and I reinstalled it at least five times. I've
tried installing it with a root password created and without and Debian still
won't let me log in as root. It says "authentication failed" after I type in
the root password.
I've tried reinstalling it without creating a root password and it still won't
let me log in. I get the same message as before. I can log in as another
user, but not as root. I've checked the passwords entered and every time the
password is correct, but Debian says that it's not. How can I fix these
issues.
I've tried to use the password command to remove whatever password I
created/didn't create and I get an error message that the password command
cannot be found in BASH. Is there something wrong with the Debian 7.1? I
can't even install updates to the OS.
Thank you.
