Search the file "isolinux.cfg" and adjust the timeout to a lower value.

You might want to take a look at the syslinux documentation:

http://syslinux.zytor.com/

You might adjust the root password yourself with the following command:

Code Sample
sudo passwd


Have fun!

Found it in syslinux.cfg  :)
But when i sudo passwd it is'nt saved.
So when rebooting i have to go to machine (it is in another "house") & sudo passwd again.

is there a way to save it?

I have the same question and problem. Is there a procedure to change the root password permanently. I use a usb-zip pendrive installation. Would be fine if there is a way
