Locked out from 7.3 after initial setup

Hi,

I am trialing 7.3 on my 2nd server (/r/Homelab)

Ive created boot flash, booted up, set up my root password as
n~|QE^3E~^Q{>avG*EGc and saved this password to my KeePassXC. It was also Keepass that generated that password.
Selected internal 2 drive boot of my 2 120/128MB m2 drives and finished the initialization.

Aaaand I cant login 😃 I have a wrong password apparentelly.

Ive removed the flash drive, deleted config/shadow and config/smbpass and still cant login.

So dear community, i have few humble questions 😄

  • Do I have to delete the same files from Both of the internal boot drives?
  • Can I repurpose the original UNRAID flash as live CD of something else and leave it as live cd? (Im out of flash drives)
  • Are there any characters to be avoided for unraid password creation? It made no protest about taking the password, but it does not let me login with it. Ive checked the password before confirming in unraid init and in keepass, so I am sure its correct.
