Hi,
I was shutting down and as it was taking a while, i forced it to shutdown (bad idea in retrospect).
Upon starting up, I get the error
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
I follow @nightromantic’s solution here but instead of using a fedora live disk, i used an ubuntu 18.04 live disk and reset the root password.
Now it boots up to the Login Page but can’t Login for both my initial admin user and root, I also can’t login using the terminal.
I have also tried to rename .local and .config folders but no luck.
Help Please!!
Thanks so much, am in as root and also as the admin user
Its asking to set up the desktop afresh, I suspect that’s because i renamed .local or .config.
Will revert those changes.
I’m truly grateful
