| treeofknowledge | how can i get a new password if i can't login to my account lol. i must have typed in the password wrong for the account because i can't login | 23:13 |
| treeofknowledge | is there a way to access the terminal to make a new account from the login screen | 23:13 |
| treeofknowledge | i don't want to install devuan again | 23:14 |
| rwp | If you can't remember your password you will need to reset it. | 23:18 |
| rwp | There are an endless number of guides on the net describing how to do this. | 23:19 |
| rwp | I recommend booting the installation media in rescue-mode and using it to reset the password then rebooting. | 23:19 |
| rwp | Also check that your CAPSLOCK key is not set. CAPSLOCK -- Preventing Login Since 1980. | 23:25 |
| rwp | Also check that your CAPSLOCK key is not set. CAPSLOCK -- Preventing Login Since 1980. | 23:27 |
| rwp | And also IRC bouncer proxies, doubling input lines since I just now restarted it. :-( | 23:27 |
| treeofknowledge | i am in rescue mode and it just starts reinstalling the system again | 23:33 |
| treeofknowledge | how do i reset the password from there thanks! | 23:33 |
| xrogaan | err, user password or root? | 23:39 |
| xrogaan | If you have access to root, then you can just reset your user password from that. | 23:40 |
| xrogaan | if you get to the display manager (likely SLIM), you can use CTRL+ALT+F1 (or any function key up to F6) to enter a tty | 23:42 |
| treeofknowledge | username password | 23:42 |
| treeofknowledge | i tried the option on the internet where you replae the ro quiet and i updated the password for the username and rebooted and it doesn't work lol | 23:43 |
| xrogaan | make sure your numlock isn't disabled. Or CAPSLOCK as rwp said. | 23:45 |
| xrogaan | enter a tty, login to root, then: `usermod username -p yourpassword` | 23:46 |
| xrogaan | replace username with your local username, and password with something simple for you to remember. | 23:46 |
| xrogaan | you don't have to enter rescue mode for this so long you have access to the root account. | 23:47 |
| treeofknowledge | what is tty? | 23:49 |
| gnarface | the terminal | 23:49 |
| treeofknowledge | how? | 23:50 |
| gnarface | you have access to the root account? | 23:50 |
| xrogaan | it's a remnant of the old days of unix. | 23:50 |
| treeofknowledge | yes i do | 23:50 |
| gnarface | root can change the password of any other account | 23:50 |
| gnarface | you're not locked out | 23:50 |
| treeofknowledge | how do i open a terminal | 23:50 |
| xrogaan | ctrl+alt+F1 | 23:51 |
| xrogaan | at the display manager screen. | 23:51 |
| gnarface | oh, yea if you're using a graphical login you can switch to the terminal with ctrl+alt+(any F key below #7) | 23:51 |
| treeofknowledge | it doesn't work lol | 23:52 |
| gnarface | except the one you're on currently - try ctrl+alt+F2 | 23:52 |
| treeofknowledge | its where it askes for my username and password, i select ctrl, alt and f1 | 23:52 |
| treeofknowledge | and it doesn't bring up terminal | 23:52 |
| xrogaan | together | 23:52 |
| treeofknowledge | it doesn't work | 23:52 |
| xrogaan | Do not press independently. Press together, like when you want to create a majuscule with shift. | 23:52 |
| xrogaan | are you in rescue mode? | 23:53 |
| gnarface | well you should still be able to log in to the gui as root and just open a terminal in the graphical environment, but you're clear that in this context we mean the text login prompt is also a terminal, right? | 23:53 |
| gnarface | if you're using a graphical login, the "ctrl+alt+FN" sequence should switch to one of the text login prompts | 23:53 |
