I always setup a user password, edit the 'gainroot' script, and lock the root account using 'passwd -l'<br><br>The maemo wiki explains how to edit the gainroot script, or you can just install the "becomeroot" package. I don't think either of the passwords should prevent application manager from working. Did you do anything else that you recall? What method did you use to become root? Which version of the firmware are you running?
