    The above password hash is for the word: password
    The easiest way to hash your password would be to grab it out of /etc/shadow

    Put it in %post section, and try with full path:

    Code:
    %post
/usr/sbin/useradd username -p 'oPnCuj1vgg272'

    Thanks Pavlo,
    Basically the issue was with the --chroot option in the %post section after it was removed it worked.
