Prior doing the lab I typed:
lab start boot-resetting
After that I've tryed the instruction on the lab. The boot stops asking root password.. Then tryed Tracy Baker solution, managed to reset the password.
Doing further investigation I've started the previous (on the manual) lab (typed lab start boot-selecting). On that configuration I did reset the password with the rd.break trick.
@Andres_Tarallo , Do you use telegram? I want to discuss more about changing the root password
I have found a solution to my issue, you can try adding
rd.break console=tty0
Rather than just rd.break
This should work fine then follow the other instructions
# mount -o remount,rw /sysroot/
# chroot /sysroot/
# passwd root
Enter new password
# touch /.autorelabel
this is very important
Then exit
And reboot
It worked for me and just rd.break didn’t work
Let me know how it goes
Did you tried this oh RH134 labs?
It's intresting !!! Thanks for sharing
