How can I Avoid Setting the Password Each Time It Boots?
Prev	Chapter 1. General Information	Next

If you find it tedious to specify a new password each time you boot the Network Security Toolkit, there are two possible solutions.

Download and run the appropriate nstisopasswd-2.11.0.bash script. You can find a link to the appropriate script on the associated the manifest page associated with the Network Security Toolkit distribution you downloaded (make sure you use the script which matches the version number you downloaded - there is a specific version of the script associated with each ISO image). The following demonstrates how one can change the password to NEWPASS:
Figure 1.2. Changing The Password In The ISO
```
[pkb@localhost pkb]$ gunzip nst-2.11.0.iso.gz
[pkb@localhost pkb]$ ./nstisopasswd-2.11.0.bash NEWPASS nst-2.11.0.iso
[pkb@localhost pkb]$ 
```
Note
This feature started with release 1.0.5 of the Network Security Toolkit. If you have an earlier version of the Network Security Toolkit ISO, you will NOT be able to do this.
If you build your own custom Network Security Toolkit ISO image from the source files, you can configure your own custom password by including --passwd NEWPASS when you invoke the configure command.
