I've set the access level to "Superuser" and entered my root SSH password via the menu entry "Set root password".
However, I've noticed that after each VenusOS update I cannot login as root anymore:
Permission denied, please try again.
Is the root password overwritten during the update?
Hi @XZv
I, for one, am entering it again.
But Linux stores the password in the /etc/shadow file.
In VenusOS, the sole folder that survives the upgrade is /data folder.
Don't know if it will work, but you may copy the shadow file to /data folder and then, after upgrade, copy it back to /etc folder. Maybe make a script that will automate it.
