Hi,

> How are the steps to (re)set the root password?
I am using something like this to set passwords:
inherit extrausers
# set image root password
ROOT_PASSWORD = "secret"
DEV_PASSWORD = "hackme"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
groupadd developers; \
useradd -p `openssl passwd ${DEV_PASSWORD}` developer; \
useradd -g developers developer; \
usermod -p `openssl passwd ${ROOT_PASSWORD}` root; \
"
re, please excuse: I am explaining this and more in my book "Embedded Linux
Systems with the Yocto Project".

Using your own layer for your custom distro/image configuration is the way to
go. Just put the code above into your image recipe like this:
SUMMARY = "Custom image recipe from scratch"
DESCRIPTION = "Directly assign IMAGE_INSTALL and IMAGE_FEATURES for \
for direct control over image contents."
LICENSE = "MIT"
# We are using the assignment operator (=) below to purposely overwrite
# the default from the core-image class.
IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-boot packagegroup-base-extended \
${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL}"
inherit core-image
inherit extrausers
# set image root password
ROOT_PASSWORD = "secret"
DEV_PASSWORD = "hackme"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
groupadd developers; \
useradd -p `openssl passwd ${DEV_PASSWORD}` developer; \
useradd -g developers developer; \
usermod -p `openssl passwd ${ROOT_PASSWORD}` root; \
"
Best regards,
Rudi
