Change password of root

[MickyF]

Hi!

I just tried to modify the initial password of user root, but did not find any place where to change it. Do I have to use a shell and use passwd instead?

Additionally, when adding a new user in access control, there is no password input available, similar to the above issue.
The button "Change Password" is disabled here. What is the initial password of a newly created user?

Any hint how to continue?

yes, currently, you can open a feature request to make this changable for the @pam users too

this is only true for @pam users. for those, the user has to already exist in the system for it to work, and the password is the system password for that user
if you create a user in the @pdm realm, you can specify the password on creation

Yes, you are correct! Thanks for the heads up.
