Re: HELP - Problem with Debian (password of root)



Hello Manuel

At the first start of a fresh debian installation you are asked to enter the root password (if I remember correctly). It would be very strange if you were never prompted for that.

Why don't you just install with so called "Debian of October". In this world it's not necessary to reinstall your whole system regularly. Just update your software with "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade".

Best regards,
Benjamin Schmidt

Hi, i would like to install Debian (19 December) but i have a problem: The root password doesn't works, i have tried to install Debian two times but it happens the same.

My installation is this:
35 gb for "/",
15 gb for "/usr" with /nodev,
5 gb for "/tmp" with /nodev and /nosuid,
6 gb for "/var" with /nodev.

The last version of Debian was works properly with this configuration (Debian of October), but the last version (december) not. Why this happen? What could i do? I don't want the password, but install Debian properly.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.
