Err, it is quite fast,, editing shadow, in your case emmc/etc/shadow
(check where you are, so as not to edit SD shadow,, pwd ,, print working directory (should start /media/....)
Just yesterday, I had to edit shadow,, damn password nazi's,,
here, have a blank password, how do you like them apples?
Oh, so now you'll take the password of MY CHOICE without complaint?. Well, good
Use often up-arrow and tab(completion) to reduce typing and avoid errors
mount|grep mmc (are there 2 blks? mmcblk1 & mmcblk2? If so, emmc mounted)
mount|grep media (if a SD boot, emmc likely mounted on /media, you want p2, not boot)
So, cd to emmc/etc, become root, copy shadow for backup, remove password hash between 1st 2 colons ":"
so it ends up (yes, the password hash is rather long, 50-60 chars, this is normal)
root::<other stuff>
Since most dm's don't like a root logon, do for $USER as well ($USER= your login name, bottom of shadow)
