--- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
FYI, we use English in our bug system.  This is what Google Translate came up
with (feel free to respond if this translation is incorrect):

```
Hello, I recently started testing FreeBSD and encountered a bug in the root
password setup during installation.

The problem is that the password I usually use for administration starts with a
space character (yes, the spacebar on the keyboard), followed by other
alphanumeric characters. During installation, when I start typing the password
using a space, the prompt shows that it recognizes the typing, I confirm the
password, and then finish the installation.

The problem arises after installation and initial use; when trying to log in,
the password doesn't work. At first, I thought I had typed the password
incorrectly, so I tried with the password without the space, and then the root
password worked.

We might imagine it was just a typo when registering the password, but no, the
first error I encountered was on a laptop. Until now, I thought it was just a
wrong registration, so I decided to create a VM and the same problem occurred.
Therefore, it seems to be a bug in the system because both times I am
absolutely certain I registered correctly; after logging into the system and
changing the password with the "passwd" command and using the same pattern
starting with a space, it works.

Yes, during installation in both cases I adjusted the keyboard layout to my
standard Brazilian Portuguese keyboard.

Version downloaded and used in both cases: FreeBSD-15.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
