  Target Milestone: ---

Hi everyone, 
2 weeks ago we upgraded our buildroot version from 2018.03 to 2019.02 . 
Until now we were using getty in order to login, and enabled login with 
root user on our defconfig.

After upgrading as described above, we can’t  login with root user,
While with standard user we do succeed.
As I saw one of the changes between the versions was that md5 is no longer
supported to hash the shadow file (same shadow file which contains our standard
user details).
We did tried to change the root password without any further success.

I’ll appreciate any ideas ... 
Many Thanks (:
