How to Bypass login screen and get booted as the root user by default

Hi Experts,

I am using AM335x EVMSK SDK7.

How to Bypass login screen and get booted as the root user by default ?

  • Hi,

    What is your rootfs based on init.d scripts or systemd ?
    If init.d edit the line in file /etc/inittab and llok for line which contains 'respawn:/sbin/getty'
    and add this to it --autologin root --noclear, for example 'respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin root --noclear tty2'

    If systemd refer this link https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/automatic_login_to_virtual_console

    Thanks,

    Able to solve the problem by referring the old threads which is mentioned by me & Ivan ?
    I've enabled it already by doing mentioned steps like enabling virtual console options through menuconfig etc.,

    Please try to avoid posting a duplicate thread.
