one does not always need JtR for password problems.
you do not mention what distrib you are using, so i pass
along what will work with centos 6.8
]$ sudo sh
[sudo] password for geo:
sh-4.1# passwd
Changing password for user root.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
sh-4.1# exit
]$
if you did not create a 'user' account for server, then your
problem is one that you brought on yourself for not having
done so.
a rule to _remember_, if you create a system, *always* create
a 'user' for system so that you do not have to run as 'root',
except when running at level 1.
hth.
much luck.
