Locked out of Raspberry Pi
by KPryor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HBJR)
Hello all,
I recently tried to login to my Pi (running Rasp Pi OS) and was told my password was incorrect. I'm sure it was correct, but anyway... I finally wound up booting to single user mode and changed my login password. I booted back to normal mode and tried to login and it still says my password is wrong. I went back to single user mode and created a new user/password. Rebooted again and get told the new user's password is incorrect. I'm really baffled as to what went wrong here. The Pi is runnning as my Jellyfin server and I really hate to wipe it and start over, but if I can't figure out my login problem I guess that's what I'll have to do. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has seen a similar issue or has a solution.
Thanks!
Ken
