I tried this out of curiosity on a CentOS 7 sandbox machine, and this doesn't seem to work anymore. I can boot to a 'bash' console and set the password OK. But this password doesn't seem to work on the subsequent normal boot.
Anybody knows why this is so?
Most likely you didn't relabel the filesystem. Please take a look at https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ResetRootPassword - bottom of the page and the link to access.redhat.com's writeup.

media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive and it
can be corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people
who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.
