Hey! I have a big Problem! Somehow the password of my system has changed. I know that sounds dumb. But I really didnt knowingly changed it. I’m still logged in to my System but am afraid to shut down.
(I am 1000% sure I put the right password as I had the same for the last few weeks)
Is there anything I can do to maybe safe my system?
And how could that happen that my password has changed?
If you’re still logged in, do both of the following…
Check whether you’ve got any files whose name ends in .pacnew hanging under /etc/pam.d/, and if so, merge them with the existing files of the same name.
Set a new password for yourself via the passwd command in a terminal.
