I have had a working system running the default Manjaro. This morning, I let the package manager update. While this was happening, I walked away and the screen locked. When I cam back, I could no longer unlock the screen.
I tried jumping to a virtual console (ctrl+alt+f2) and tried to log in as both of my users and as root, all failed. I tried rebooting, but still cannot login! I have verified the keyboard layouts and passwords.
I am guessing a package was updated that hosed authentication, maybe a pam module? I didn't look too closely at what was being updated.
I suppose I am going to try to live boot, and see if I can chroot into the partition and manually change the root password, unless anyone has any other suggestions.
