I'm a new pinephone user. When trying to connect as root, I do use "sudo su" and I gave my PIN code as password.
That work fine. I did some look up as root and exit from root.
Then I changed pas password in order to have my favorite password which is alphabetic. Then I shutdown my phone.
On restart, the pinephone ask my then PIN code as a number. But nor my old PIN does works, nor the sim card PIN. I suspect that changing the password for the main user should be restricted to a numeric sequence in order to be able to answer the PIN code question with the new password.
So, now I'm perfectly blocked and, I thing, the only solution should be to restart from factory setup.
Does somebody knows how to do ?

Jacques
