changing password after jhalfs

help,
   I install lfs by lfs-livecd and jhalfs (svn version)

all work OK !  great 

but when I reboot in host system to adjust and edit some
file, 
when I try to change root password I have this:

passwd root
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 127
characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and
numbers.
Bad password: too short.
Warning: weak password (enter it again to use it anyway).
Password changed.

and password is null

how can I modify password root ?



thank you

Then, you are trying to do that from inside the lfs-livecd
or another host, 
right?

Have you mounted manually the kernel filesystems and entered
manually into the 
chroot jail to perfom that commad.

Maybe you are trying to change the host root password
instead of assigning one 
to the LFS root user

If the kernel filesystems are not mounted, the exact problem
described 
occurs.

I do:

mount /dev/sda10 /mnt/sda10
mount -t proc none /mnt/sda10/proc
mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sda10/sys
chroot /mnt/sda10 /bin/bash

what else ?


but the error is the same

you must issue the commads in sections 6.2.2 and 6.2.3

And you must use the chroot command found in  
http://www.linuxfromscratch.or
g/lfs/view/development/chapter06/strippingagain.html
changing $LFS by the mount point
