Title: Single user
Post by: transadd on October 01, 2025, 11:37:48 PM
Hi
I still have Sparky versions 6 and 7 on two single user systems and would like to use the same passwords on another. When installing either 8 or 9 which both require strong passwords, is there any way that I can  allow weak passwords which is a choice on other single user installations.

Regards john

AxL Thanks for the  information, have changed my password as suggested. I have noticed that Debian trixie also needs a strong password, it seems to depend on how a distribution have used Calmares some give the choice of using a weak password and other do not.

You can always change the password, whenever you want:
