Everytime i try to boot manjaro, it asks for my archlinux login and password and i don’t remember the username. Is there any way to recover it?
P.S - I have very little linux experience. So please try to explain it in as non-technical terms as possible.
You need to login to another account and see all users in cat /etc/passwd
Welcome to the forum!
In that case, your system probably hasn’t been updated in a very long time, which could lead to lots of trouble.
The simplest way would be to boot up from a Manjaro live USB and look at the name of the user’s home directory. This name corresponds to the login — note: GNU/Linux is case-sensitive.
However, if you’ve also forgotten the password, then best is to chroot
into your installation from the Manjaro USB and then set a new password.
sudo -i
manjaro-chroot -a
passwd name-of-user
sync
exit

Are you lost? Arch forums are that way https://bbs.archlinux.org/
Arch is not Manjaro; Manjaro is not Arch.
