Greetings.
I migrated a CentOS 7 container from a Proxmox 4, now it is located on a Proxmox 8.2

When I want to change the password

pct enter 111
passwd


it gives me the error

New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged


Can anyone recommend a method?

Hi,

May you try first `pwconv` and then issue the `passwd` again? see `man pwconv` for more information.
