 |
|
Hi all
I've just finished gentoo installation, step-by-step according to the official Handbook, but I noticed I haven't set system password...
After reboot I can't log in...
Ideas?
[please, don't tell me "do everything again"  ]
T.

Just boot with a live cd again.
Chroot (follow the handbook).
And set the password.

Just the chrooting part.
Boot from the media you used to install the system.
| Code: |
mount /dev/ROOT /mnt/gentoo
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update && source /etc/profile
passwd
exit
umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
umount /mnt/gentoo
reboot |
