After immediately selecting 'Drop into root shell prompt' I found the filesystem was mounted read only, which prevents resetting the password. Choosing the option to remount / as read/write and going back into the root shell prompt enabled the password change. The command to run prior to changing the password is: mount -rw -o remount / share|improve this answer edited Apr 29 '12 at 14:39 Community♦ 1 answered Jan 3 '12 at 23:29 Brandon 1,366172 Thank you, that worked. –Somebody Apr 7 '14 at 16:54 1 even after following these steps it will not accept my password –angela Aug 14 '14 at 15:09 2 Odd. mount showed that / was already mounted as read/write, but mount -rw -o remount / still worked.

when changing PW in Ubuntu? Anthony J https://linuxacademy.com/community/posts/show/topic/1881-explain-authentication-token-manipulation-error 02-17-2015 HI "New" it is because you are not entering the "current" password that it is asking for instead you are entering https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/authentication-token-manipulation-error-when-logging-in-as-root-for-first-time your desired new password. For example.. When you enter in not the correct "current" password which by default is 123456 user@anthony4:~$ su Password: authentication token You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for root. (current) UNIX password: su: Authentication token manipulation error user@anthony4:~$ When you enter the correct one: user@anthony4:~$ su Password: You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for authentication token manipulation root. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: root@anthony4:/home/user# You can see that it is asking for the "current" password first to verify you are who you say you are. New G 02-18-2015 Thanks. That'll happen I guess opening too many terminal. *doh* Reply Commit new skills to your local repo Join 70,000+ aspiring & expert engineers who trained at Linux Academy Join Now Features For Teams Library Blog Careers Community Archive About Terms of Service Privacy Policy Log In Join Now © Linux Academy.

Log In to Comment 5 Answers 4 asb MOD September 23, 2014 Hi! When it asks you to change the password, the first thing you need to input is the current password. You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for root. (current) UNIX password: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: If that is entered incorrectly, you will get the "Authentication token manipulation error" and be logged out. If you're still having issues, you can reset the password in the DigitalOcean control panel: Reply Log In to Comment 0 em57 June 2, 2015 This thing happenned to me, just now! just rejects authentication of the same pass I have been using.
