Just installed 2.5 in a vm as well as an itx.. i cannot change the passwd for root and make it stick, i even tried option 0 for shell and ran `login` and tried to change from there with `passwd` it asked for password twice like norm but gave an error.. Cannot lock the password file; try again later.
this happened on both installs.. any hints?

Ok so I figured this one out.. After getting a shell (option 0) and after logging in with login command and entering the default root password (endian) I ran the following..
Code:
passwd
then type password in twice of course
Code:
passwd -u root
and that fixed it for me..
