Re: Root password change inside container
Interrupting the boot on a container won't work and won't help in this case.
The easiest way to become root is via the 'srp_su' command from the container manager system.
For example, if you container system is name erpsys1 you would do the following from the container manager (while logged in as root):
# srp_su erpsys1 -
Once you are root in the container you can reactivate the root account and change the password. Note that 'sam' does not work in a container so you will have to use modprpw to unlock the account. For example:
# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
Hope this helps.
