Hi,

There are lot of threads floating around, and a FAQ without answer.
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_set_or_change_the_root_p
assword

So what is the official way to set a default root password ?
Using a sed command on /etc/passwd through ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND or
is there any other built-in solution ?

regards
David
