default os: loop while login as rock

[hmuller]

Hi Adrian,

Based on the problem you are describing, I suspect you may have changed the 'rock' user password.

If you added your new user to the sudo group, you can change the rock user password from your new user account by running the following within a terminal:

Code:

$ sudo passwd rock

If you did not add your new user to the sudo group, and you can run the following in a terminal to switch to the root user:

Code:

$ su root

And then enter the root user password (if you did not change it, the root password is 'root' without quotes). Then you can run the following within a terminal to change the rock password:

Code:

$ passwd rock

Regardless of how you restore the rock password, should you ever accidentally remove the update button, you can always run the following within a terminal to update the default Debian desktop shipped by the manufacturer:

Code:

$ sudo mrfixit_update.sh
