Changing password for "root"

There are 4 replies in this Thread which was already clicked 1,308 times. The last Post () by rikjaard-real.

    Firstly be patient - I am new to Linux and am setting up my Vu+ Solo2 (Black Hole). I need to change my paswsord for root (plan to use webif) - but am struggling. Currently there is no password for root, and when I logon via telnet I get a prompt that reads: root@vusolo2:~# however at this prompt I cannot execute the passwrd command. What am I doing wrong?


    Thanks.
