I've been trying to install slitaz 3.0 onto an internal hard drive. Everything seems to go ok but after I boot into the new system and try to open a folder as root slitaz doesn't accept the root password I entered during installation - no error message, just ignoring my attempt to log in as root. I've done this twice now just to make sure I didn't enter the password incorrectly, and I know exactly what root password I specified, and I know I entered it correctly.

Is there some limitation on the passwords that can be used? I'm using the same one I've used previously on Ubuntu - it's a phrase about 25 characters long, with lower-case letters, spaces and punctuation characters. Can slitaz handle that, or does it only work with simple passwords?
