I think I know what the problem is when it asks u for a password u think it is not typing anything beacuse it doesnt show on the screen (dont worry it is getting typed its just a security feature of unix and linux systems not to show the password or * sign on the screen u can still type the password just make sure it has at least one capital letter small characters and numbers and try to keep it more than 5 characters maybe at least 7 characters so that it doesnt show its weak) although the guy above is right it has been changed. Yes you can change your password in a chroot environment I have done it myselt chhroot using the code that says chroot with this from Chapter 7 onwards. The chroot command u have used is correct by the way...
