<option>--root-password=</option> accepts the password to set
directly on the command line, and
<option>--root-password-file=</option> reads it from a file.
Note that it is not recommended to specify passwords on the
command line, as other users might be able to see them simply
by invoking

set directly on the command line, <option>--root-password-file=</option> reads it from a file and
<option>--root-password-hashed=</option> accepts an already hashed password on the command line. See
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>shadow</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information on the format of the hashed password. Note that it is not recommended to specify
plaintext passwords on the command line, as other users might be able to see them simply by invoking
