Don't know password -- Community Edition pmOS - Linuxnub - 09-18-2020
Hi everyone,
I received my pinephone a while ago however I didn't really have time to fiddle around with it. I set a password for pmOS but I can't seem to remember it, or maybe I mistakenly touched a different number during password creation.
I bought a 128gb SD card from sandisk, flashed the pureOS image onto the SD using balena etcher ( I also tried with Mobian), but I cannot format the phone to factory settings. I cannot get past the lockscreen, I've seen posts where people have said to chroot, but I don't know how and I don't need any information that is on the phone. I just want to erase the old OS completely and make a new password for pureOS. There's a reset button behind the phone, but it does nothing.
During launch it says "PureOS for Pinephone" but...
As of right now, I am just stuck on the lockscreen of the phone.
Thanks!
