In setting up ALPHA9 on an RPI3 an error comes up in trying to set a password using single-user mode on the serial console. Initially the machine came up multi-user, whence I realized I'd forgotten to set a root password. I pulled the plug and booted to single user successfully. However, when I typed # passwd Changing local password for root New Password: Retype New Password: passwd: pam_chauthtok(): Error in service module Fsck says the filesystem is clean. I could re-image the microSD card and start over, but would rather save the configuration done so far if it's possible. Thanks for reading, and any guidance! bob prohaska
