Question: the password file to be put in the unsquashfs filesystem structure, is it need to be format as shardow passwd file or just plain text format like in the old-time linux passwd file. where should it be located in the file system i.e. in root directory and change the symlink to /etc/passwd

It's shadow format. See my forum post for more details (look for the mkpasswd command.

Can you outline the process to in the Quote

Thanks, I looked into the forum it look like I have found new hope. BTW for the passwd file you mention it's shadow format which mean in the file if I only having root user then it is only 1 line as followed
root:rvE2CYlmZo43R
or 2 file with different content below
file: passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
and
file: shardow
root:rvE2CYlmZo43R

Thanks very much for pointing me to the information I needed.

Sorry, I misread your first question and my answer was confusing.

There is only 1 file ("like in the old-time linux passwd file") There is no shadow password file needed.
