Hi all

I need to change the root password, is that password encrypted/encoded or just plain text in the /etc/shadow file?
The reason I ask is that mine is a long string of alphanumeric characters which include things like $ and /
Is this because the wizard generated a random password but it's still plain text?

Thanks in advance.
Dave.

its encrypted. if you want to generate your own password then please run this command in terminal:

Thank you fanthom.
