Public bug reported:
On the bq Aquaris Ubuntu Edition it is not possible to set a root password.
Normally you can use
sudo passwd root
to set the root password, but this fail with following message:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
On the Ubuntu on my pc I do not use a root password, as my user password is
strong enough. But on a smart phone I use a shorter password, as I have to
enter it way too often. Also I guess this counts for most other users.
The root access should be still secure, so a separate root password is needed.
