----------------------------------------
The usercrypted password is created by:
mkpasswd -m TYPE YOUR_PASSWD
"mkpasswd" is from package "whois" in Debian or Ubuntu. Check your GNU/Linux to see which package provides this command if you are not using Debian or Ubuntu. Replace YOUR_PASSWORD with your plain text password, and remember do not put any " in the boot parameters of live-initramfs (while it's ok for those ocs_* boot parameters) when you use isolinux/syslinux/pxelinux, i.e. do NOT use something like usercrypted="bkuQxLqLRuDW6". However, when you use grub, if the crypted password has "$", you have to use single quotation marks or backslash to escape dollar sign. For example, when "mkpasswd -m MD5 ilovesteven -s Dooguom5" gives you the encrypted password $1$Dooguom5$a9LFeu8YO/joyNtrpUEAk0, you have to put usercrypted='$1$Dooguom5$a9LFeu8YO/joyNtrpUEAk0' in the boot parameters. While for syslinux/isolinux/pxelinux you can not do so.
If you prefer sha-256 instead of md5 method, you can generate the password like:
mkpasswd -m SHA-256 YOUR_PASSWD
Or sha-512:
mkpasswd -m SHA-512 YOUR_PASSWD
//NOTE//
- If you do not assign salt to mkpasswd, the encrypted password will not be the same every time you create it.

- The files in the Clonezilla live iso file are read-only, therefore it's easier to modify the files on USB. If you want to convert the live USB files as an iso file, you can refer to this. Remember, for live CD booting, you have to modify the syslinux/isolinux.cfg.
- For more boot parameters, please refer to this doc.
