I'm trying to change a local user passwd as root and I get this error

What does "lsattr /etc/passwd /etc/shadow" print?

this ... how it has been changed ? this is a fresh install
does this mean another admin has changed the default attr ?


lsattr /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
------------------- /etc/passwd
------------------- /etc/shadow


I guess that `ls -l' is clean too:
is the associated partition mounted as read-only ?
