setting the root password

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi,

I've tested a few F22 beta images on Orange Pi (similar to Banana Pi).

I noticed that it was not possible at all to pcik a weak root password.
Pressing done a 2nd (or 3rd) time did not help.
For testing (where I tend to use a simple password) this is not convenient.

BTW noticed that even passwords like 1qazxsw2 are in the dictionary.

Also it might be (I did not verify this and already had overwritten the sd
card) that the u-boot bin is a different size; I struggled a bit here,

Somehow I ended up with two versions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 frans frans     352800 Apr 26 10:25
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin.f22
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root      352848 Apr 26 12:01
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin.f22a

The f22 one works.

I was not able to boot from an USB hard disk using u-boot; it fails to load
the image .
I get
"EHCI timed out on TD"
short files can be read;

Still looking into this.

It's expecting characters other than just alphanumeric. So if you
substitute a ! for the 2 on the end I suspect it'll work just fine.

Ah ok,
Then again it was my impression that even a weak password could be chosen
by pressing "Done" twice (which was not the case).

BTW iirc the password "Ditiseentest" was accepted as fair (no digit or
symbol here). The English version "Thisisatest" was considered weak (maybe
because the first variant was 12 chars and the 2nd one 11).
