Live USB with Encrypted Persistence ROOT password?

[king_kratos]

Hello,

I created a live USB and added encrypted persistence following the directions on the Kali website.

When I boot to the live USB, I enter the password to decrypt the persistent partition and Kali automatically boots directly to the root desktop. This is not an issue because most of my pen testing is done in root anyway.

However, I do browse the web from time to time to try and find resources and created a standard user to do this.

Each time I log out of root, log into the standard user, and then log out of the standard user, I am unable to log back in to the root user without a complete reboot. I can enter the root username, but I have no idea what the password would be.

Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do to get this so I don't have to reboot every time I do this?

Thanks,

Kratos

Okay, never mind. I figured it out. Username is root and password is toor.

The default password will be toor and the username will be root
Once you have changed your password using passwd root command,

edit /lib/live/config/0031-root-password and comment out the line

before: usermod -p 'X014elvznJq7E' root
after: # usermod -p 'X014elvznJq7E' root
