hardy: unable to change root passwd on thinclient image

[john]

Hi all,

I am trying to get root access on the thin clients running on my
install of Edubuntu/Hardy.  I did:

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
issued the "passwd" command and changed the password
Then I did:

sudo ltsp-update-image

and rebooted the thin client

However, when I do ctrl + alt + F1 and try and log in as root on the
client I get the following message:

"your account has expired, please contact your system administrator"

I hope someone can help out!

Thanks,

John
