sudo / lock screen password keeps resetting to default
09-03-2020, 04:11 AM
This is the second time I have installed mobian on the eMMc of my Pinephone UBPorts Edition.
The first time I changed the password from the default "1234" using the terminal emulator with the
command "sudo passwd" and it worked.
However, after making some annoying changes I couldnt revert, I decided to reinstall everything and now,
when I try to change the password in the terminal emulator using the same command "sudo passwd", it says:
passwd: password updated successfully
But, when I lock the screen and then attempt to unlock it with the new password. It doesnt work.
When I try with the default "1234" password it works like if I had never changed it "successfully".
Not sure what is happening or what Im doing wrong, maybe Im just tired. Any ideas?
