I'm trying to set a password for the ubuntu user on my live usb. I managed to google some of the way - and ubuntu now boots to a log in screen every time i boot. So far so good.

When i try to change the password with: passwd ubuntu

It says password updated successfully.

However when i reboot it's defaults back to no password.

How do i make it "stick"?

  • Is this a persistence live usb stick? – L. D. James Feb 17 '17 at 18:37
  • You can add a new user with password to a persistent drive, my experience is that it will be difficult to shut down the computer. see http://askubuntu.com/questions/582675/shutdown-persistent-usb-install – C.S.Cameron Feb 18 '17 at 03:29
