Default root password: 2.4 vs. 2.6

[Thomaiyar, Richard Marian]

Hi Dave,

you should be able to override it in your local.conf.sample, please make 
sure you are using append and correct image name


(in local.conf.sample)

INHERIT += "extrausers"

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS_append_pn-obmc-phosphor-image  = " \

usermod -p '\$1\$UGMqyqdG\$FZiylVFmRRfl9Z0Ue8G7e/' root; \

"

or add your own image name (instead of obmc-phosphor-image after 
append_pn) for which you are building. With this it will override.

Let me know if you are facing any problem with this method.


regards,

Richard
