Fw: [cobalt-users] How to install Cobalt software on a regular PC



 Hi

 I am having the same problems. Seems that the password for root or admin is
corrupted.
I get the following error when I try and change either one.

 #Changing password for user admin.
#passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

 So I dont wont to reboot because I wont be ablt to get back in.

 Thanks
 Ian
