passwd -R /path/to/vm/root/on/host root doesn't work, the error message is: passwd: Cannot determine your user name. I checked both /etc/password and /etc/shadow, the entries for root both exist. I tried passwd -R / root to change the host root password, and it works.

Have a look at man passwd. Just add the mount point of your VM disk and passwd should use the shadow file there.

@michas can you make it a bit more clear how to use passwd -R? Thanks.

Maybe passwd -R might be a better solution.

I'm not sure if modifying /etc/shadows with perl is really a good idea...
