1@cjc See Getting an “Authentication token manipulation” error when trying to change my user password. Assuming this is happening while attempting to reset a password from recovery mode, I suspect the problem is that you need to remount your filesystem readwrite as explained in Luis Alvarado's answer. – Eliah Kagan Sep 16 '14 at 07:00

Why do you want to root to change your password. Simply type the following in your terminal
passwd
Done!
