So I’ve been using my computer all morning, I left it for lunch and when I came back it was in the login screen. As always I put the password and suddenly it says login failed, Of course maybe I put it wrong or something. I tried like 10 times and I know that that is the correct password, but for some reason I can’t nor login normally or by the tty2 command line. It tells me the same, login incorrect, but I know that that is the correct password. This is the first time I get this problem, I don’t want to
Does anyone know what can I do to enter my session? I writing this from my dual boot windows where I can login as usual.
I haven’t done much this morning, at that moment I was installing zsh for my terminal and just updated some minor packages.
After having experienced that exact same thing, I have to ask, did you try again after a reboot? If not, do so.
I still don’t know why this happened or how to fix it. The way I ‘fixed’ it was by losing my temper, running out of patience and doing a reinstallation.
Yep, I tried it. i got into the chroot, changed the password successfully but when I got into my session nothing changed, it still says login failed. Seems like I’ll have to install manjaro again, I saw that I can take my files from the live USB back so I’ll install it again… Thank you for your help!
I am no expert in chroot, but maybe you could create a new user from within chroot and then try logging in there. If it works, it might be better than doing a reinstall .
