RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:
Comment 2 Mike Burns 2011-08-26 12:35:21 UTC 
Are you assuming that setting the password in the TUI during install will set the password for the root user?  Or are you setting it using the rootpw commandline option?
Comment 4 Mohua Li 2011-08-28 08:02:21 UTC 
setting all the password by TUI, no any rootpw used in this bug,  i assume that we only set the password for admin user in TUI, but we shouldn't clear the root password in upgrade

I agree, we shouldn't touch the root password at all during upgrade, but from what you describe, you don't have a root password set at all.  Nothing in the TUI will set or change the root password.
Comment 7 Alan Pevec 2011-09-09 16:42:22 UTC 
Keeps root password:
- with "upgrade" boot parameter
- in-place: mount /dev/cdrom /live; /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-boot /live

Clears root password:
- Upgrade via TUI
