Hi,

That's done via the extrausers class in an image recipe. Add this to
your image recipe:

>>>>>>
inherit extrausers

ROOT_PASSWORD = "secret"

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -p `openssl passwd ${ROOT_PASSWORD}` root;"

<<<<<<

Make sure you use the backticks (`).

Hi,

I built a Yocto image and I could log into the root without password,
how could I set up the Yocto build in a receipt to set password for
logging?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hi,

pay attention that "openssl passwd ${ROOT_PASSWORD}" command handles
only passwords up to 8 characters (the extra characters will be
truncated and the generated hash is for the first eight).

If you want to use more than 8 characters in the password, use another
password algorithm instead of the default one. You can see other
supported algorithms typing "openssl help passwd".

For example, command could become

openssl passwd -6 ${ROOT_PASSWORD}
