Creating local users when using Remote Authentication and unavailable login

The Remote Authentication is unavailable, so I can't login. How to enable root login as local mode?

Hi Yo_D1 ,

Try to Reset it from Single user mode during booting up.

Yo_D1 I was under the impression that unless they have been disabled the root and admin local users should always function even when remote authentication is responding or down. This article could be related to your issue.

Thx. I found I didn't mount the /dev/mapper/xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xx._config .

After mounted it to /sysroot/config , then I can execute "passwd root"
