Hi Cristiano, I've seen this problem before, particularly after using jhalfs. It's caused by not having all of the LFS filesystems mounted (in particular /dev). If you remount all of the filesystems under /mnt/lfs (see sections 6.2.2 and 6.2.3) then you should be able to set the password successfully.
