Yes, I didn’t think of this when I had the problem. And anyway, I was not yet comfortable using a chroot environment. To do this:
- Boor from a Live ISO and copy/write/whateveryouwannacall t to some media so that you have a live environment ISO.
- Once the Live environment has finished booting, open a terminal.
- In thee Live ISO environment, in the terminal, tun:
manjaro-chroot -a
- Select your Manjaro installation to enter the chroot environment.
Be careful from here on, because y6ou are now root on your actual installation.
- Run:
passwd <username>
Where <username> is the username of your system.
- Follow the prompts. When done and wishing to exit the chroot environment, enter
exit
and close the terminal:
exit
- Hold your breath, your thumbs, say a little prayer, and reboot.
In all theory, it should work now. If it does, feel free to heap thee praise on. If not, well, then it wasn’t me and I’m totally innocent.
Really hope this helps!
