How to set root password on Yocto / Poky image?

I am creating an image with the release of Yocto / Poky Daisy 1.6.3.
What is the correct path or configuration file where you can set the root password? The password is empty by default, and I can’t find a place to enter it.

Here is what you should do in your recipe.

inherit extrausers
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -P p @ ssw0rd root;"

where p @ ssw0rd is the password that the root user must have.

"debug-tweaks" root, EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES.

Poky 2.1.2; root local.conf:

INHERIT += "extrausers"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -P p@ssw0rd root;"

Here is the method I used that does not use the -P switch in the usermod command. You should use the following form:

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -p $(openssl passwd p@ssw0rd) root;"

The usermod -P command does not work on my version of Linux.
