You are not entering the correct password. It is first asking for the current root password (which is 1234).
Once you enter that, then it will ask for the new password you want to set.
Dear Sir,
I still key in the current root password(which is 1234), while after keyin the new username as “outernet” thence the error message “Authentication token manipulation error” come up , and return to …
Thanks for your suggestion, that I use the new username as “patrickylma” , which is 11 characters, but same error message come up “Authentication token manipulation error” .
I still looking the solution.
Dear Sir, Thanks for your suggestion, yes it ought to be the password, not the user name , so key in the password "987654321"
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Changing password for root.
(current) UNIX password: 876543219
first it is asking for “(current) UNIX password”. That is 1234.
then, when you enter that correctly, it will ask for “new password”. You enter 87654321
then it again asks for “new password”. You again enter 87654321.
Also, may I please ask why you are attempting to run Armbian? Have you tried Skylark:
