Hi Giulio,

if I move the mouse pointer over this label, it changes the shape from
arrow to a hand symbol, and I can click there (similar to changing root
pwd or adding a normal user, which is possible too _during_ installation).

So I'm rather sure it's not only there for demonstrating purposes.

But how then enter passwords correctly without a right keyboard layout
(on German keyboards, the letters y and z are exchanged, and some
special chars are located at other places), so if I forgot adding
passwords in a timely manner, it could be difficult to enter the
passwords correctly.


Kind regards
