      hi-

      i'm attempting to change the root passwd from the console shell with "passwd", and i'm getting:

      passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module

      is there some other way to facilitate this?

      cheers,
      darren david

        As I understand, root and admin password is identical, so why not change it via the WebConfigurator?

        Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

        If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

          You need to change it form the webConfigurator.  The shell is provided for your convenience only.
