That isn't the way I did it.mrnishi wrote: I dont secure the pasword change worked but...
---------------
[email protected]:/etc# passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully

I think the password change but when I make the chroot...
------------
sabayon disk # chroot /media/disk /bin/bash
id: cannot find name for group ID 11
id: cannot find name for group ID 409
id: cannot find name for group ID 410
id: cannot find name for group ID 411

And when I make groups....
-------------------
[email protected]:/etc# groups
root daemon bin sys adm disk uucp id: cannot find name for group ID 11
11 dialout tape sudo id: cannot find name for group ID 409
409 id: cannot find name for group ID 410
410 id: cannot find name for group ID 411
411
------------------------
I think I have a problem with groups... and not with the password....
Here is what I did when I was talked through it on live help:
<Azerthoth>: wb Dunsurfin
<Azerthoth>: ready?
<Dunsurfin>: Azerthoth I'm back with livecd booted
<Azerthoth>: k, need a terminal with root
<Azerthoth>: then cd /mnt
<Azerthoth>: mkdir inst
<Azerthoth>: mount /dev/<your install> /mnt/inst
<Azerthoth>: let me know when your at that point
<Dunsurfin>: Azerthoht I'm at this point now mount /dev/<your install> /mnt/inst
<Azerthoth>: k, you know what I meant there correct? or you need expanding
<Dunsurfin>: Azerthoth I now have that file system mounted at/mnt/ inst in my livecd
<Azerthoth>: chroot /mnt/inst /bin/bash
<Azerthoth>: note the space
<Azerthoth>: should get a root prompt
<Azerthoth>: pwd should show /
<Dunsurfin>: I have a root prompt with /#
<Azerthoth>: cool
<Azerthoth>: type 'passwd'
<Azerthoth>: it will ask for new password, this is for you root account
<Dunsurfin>: New Unix password
<Azerthoth>: thats the one, just enter whatever you want your root passwd to be
<Azerthoth>: Dunsurfin we can also reset user passwords too from here
<Dunsurfin>: OK I now have password updated succesfully
<Dunsurfin>: How do I do the user?
<Azerthoth>: to reset user password 'passwd <the user name>'
<FireVai>: passwd <user?
<Dunsurfin>: Azerthoth that's done now. Do I need to do anything or just exit?
<Azerthoth>: Dunsurfin once done, type exit, to get out of chroot
<Azerthoth>: then cd
<Azerthoth>: then umount /mnt/inst
If you can follow it you should be OK.
