Re: [cobalt-users] admin & root pwds don't match

[Peter Low <peterlow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you change the admin password through the GUI, the root password should 
change as well.  Try changing the password for admin so that it is 8 or 
fewer characters.  The GUI will accept passwords with >8 characters (I 
think it may truncate to 8).

After you change the password to 8 or fewer characters, try to telnet/SSH 
in as root.  If you cannot, I'd guess that the mechanism that keeps the 
admin and root passwords synched is broken.  Unfortunately, I don't know 
how this works or how to fix it.
