(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,
I've just installed the newest Puppy linux (frugal) and can't find a way to boot w/o the need to type the password.
I want a root password for SSH, but I want the PC itself to boot w/o asking for a password.

Puppy doesn't ask for a password, unless you created an encrypted save file.

Is this your problem?

I guess so.
Thanks.

The simplest procedure is to delete the encrypted save file and start again.

1. Boot off your Live CD. At the initial 5-second pause, type 2. Mount the partition containing the save file and delete it.

3. Reboot normally.
