Password for fedora livecd

[prakash srinivasan]

Hello all,
      I added/removed some packages & created a fedora customized livecd using by the livecd-fedora-9-desktop.ks and livecd-fedora-9-base.ks files.
When I am trying to access the system settings or any superuser's applications, its asking root password. I did not set any root password in the .ks file and I tried "root","", "fedora" & "toor" also. But no use. Somebody already posted the same query in this mailing list. But I did not find any proper reply for that query. Help me to disable the root password or how to reset the root password by editing my customized .iso.

Regards,
Prakash.

Just a commline "passwd sudo"

Use /sbin/grub-md5-crypt to create a password hash. Then, in your ks file add a line like this...

rootpw --iscrypted $1$vLOQS9GY$HDQlZbYtdQ0/LT3RKxjD80

(where all the crazy text is the result of running grub-md5-crypt).

hello,

take a look at fedora-live-base.ks in

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=tree

you will notice a line like this
passwd -d liveuser > /dev/null

to delete the password ie. having no password for user liveuser

I did experienced this problem some months ago. As far as I can
remember during creation it doesn't say "removing root password" and I
was also asked about this password. But with f10-live everything is
fine.
