[13:28] Hi guys, anybody wanting to help with ubuntu login prob, please? [14:12] Langjan: what's the problem? [14:23] Hi superfly the root password is not being accepted to login [14:23] Langjan: why are you logging in as root? [14:24] OK sorry, the username and password are the same [14:25] I'm currently at the password reset in recovery mode [14:26] Getting Authentication token manipulation error [14:27] You've lost me. [14:28] http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password [14:29] Langjan: again, why are you logging in as root? [14:30] The system was set to not require a login password, then suddenly it asked for password and I used the password that we registered on install [14:32] We are using the same password that the system always accepts for login and admin privileges [14:33] there's a difference between root (which you shouldn't be using) and a user who can sudo (which is what you should be doing) [14:34] also, you should always require a password for logging in, it's just basic good security. [14:34] I gotta go, heading home [14:34] Ok sorry, learning - its the password that I use for sudo [15:23] Hi Kilos [15:23] howzit?
