Re: What is the liveuser password? root user have no password
The installation environment booted from the iso only has 1 user : root .
No password is set for that user, so just press enter when it asks for a password.
You are following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

"archie:$6$:14871::::::" is bogus.
The "generated long gibberish" is the password *hash* - you're not supposed to be able to calculate the password from it and there's no way to know it otherwise.
You can replace it, though.
