I have followed your steps as described below but the system keeps recovering the password for root and cannot access blank passwd..
You have to be more detailed. What do you mean by "recovering".
Note: the password for root in /etc/passwd is equally unaffected.
There was nothing you needed to edit in /etc/password. The entry for root should read: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash Then entry for root in /etc/shadow should read: root::10977:0:10000:::: Rafael
