EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS works for me all the time. The stanza is what I am using in 
my image recipes:

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\groupadd developers; \useradd -p `openssl passwd 
${DEV_PASSWORD}` developer; \useradd -g developers developer; \
usermod -p `openssl passwd ${ROOT_PASSWORD}` root; \
"

If this is an accurate copy of what you are using  (from you first email)

> EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -P <encrypted_password> root;"

then the issue probably is the capital -P. It should be lowercase.

Cheers,
Rudi
