reuse a previously used password on photon/VMware appliances?

Posted on June 8, 2021December 2, 2021 by Nithin Titta

 


If for some reason the password had to be reset to the original, the below config file can be changed to allow re-using passwords


edit /etc/pam.d/system-password

vi /etc/pam.d/system-password

change remember=5 to remember=1 and reboot the appliance

Once the appliance boots up, set the password using

passwd root
