Change root password on USB persist
« on: December 24, 2010, 09:32:16 PM »
I have made a live usb of PCLOS e-17. Now I would like to change the root password. User control only displays or adds regular user and not super users, as far as I can see.

Can this be done?

PCC - System - Manage Users on system - Options - Untick Filter ........  select the root user and edit.
