I was trying to run a short command just now
(sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save') to stop the speaker from buzzing, and suddenly my root password was not accepted.
I just ran the same command yesterday and it was ok. I run it almost every day. I have checked that I write the password correctly, and I do. I have tried the password in terminal and in Pamac with the same result.
I have not done any update on the computer the last couple of days so I have no idea why this is happening.
