Huhu, just to make sure we are on the same page:

1. Menu -> System settings -> Security -> set Enforce Security to on
2. Reboot (after changing this setting, for the temporary root password go to Menu -> System Settings -> Security and check the new random password)
3. batocera-config setRootPassword [yourPassword] # You will get the above error but it should work anyway.
4. Reboot
5. Your new password should work now.

Despite working I created a small PR so there are no warnings/errors anymore when executing the commands (Also fixed the underling issue and not just silencing them ^^)

Can confirm this is now fixed in new builds :wink:, so you (or someone that has the rights for it) can close this issue 😊

@fedekrum would you please close the issue or is it not fixed for you?
