I booted up into single-user mode ok, but when trying to change the
password at command the message: changing password for user root
appears, then I get the error:

passwd: Authentication token manipulation error.

I believe the above problem may be that following advice on the CC
boards; I logged in with WinSCP and edited the password field within
/etc/shadow (and shadow-):

root::xxxx:0:password:x::::

I removed the second column ‘password’.

Is there a way back from here or is the re-install favourite again?

Thanks
