[split] Change password from external media
#12
I'll try to make it simple, assuming a SD boot with manjaro
lsblk -a ,,, your SD is /, probably mmcblk1p2 ,, ie blk1
Probably emmc is blk2, root filesystem on that /dev/mmcblk2p2
It will be more easy since SD card is 32G and emmc is 64G, so size makes it clear
Start filemanager dolphin, left column click emmc drive (note size to be sure)
If there is a still a distro installed, the regular directories will be there,
bin, boot, home, etc, opt , root, sbin, usr and so on
click etc (to change to that directory), press f4 to get command window, resize larger
double check
df -h (is emmc mounted? size shows)
pwd (where am I? /mountpoint/something/etc/)
sudo cp shadow shadow.bak
sudo nano shadow
Do editing mentioned 3 posts above
Shutdown, remove SD card, reboot
