It will take clear text or encrypted passwords.
use the grub-md5-crypt command to convert the password.
eg: "welcome" would be
rootpw --iscrypted $1$6AVJt0$jzcyYkTBUq3kYItxttWlm0

Hello, all -
I was wondering what method you guys use for setting a root password
during a kickstart install. I understand that it can be set by the
'rootpw' directive, and optionally, I can throw it the --isencrypted
flag. I'd like to assign an encrypted password, but I was curious as
to which method you guys use in an effort to simply convert a text
password into the encrypted type asked for.
I've tried copying sniplets from /etc/passwd from user accounts for
which I set the password, and I knew what the password was, stuff like
that - to no avail. So... I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks!
