This is an old server I set up some months ago, but I forgot passwords. It boots to the desktop, but when screensaver comes on, I cannot get in...
I have reset the root and main user account password in recovery mode, many times.
But when I go into GUI, and use terminal to setup VNC , or do anything like an install, no good.
Keeps giving me password fail.
Is the GUI /desktop user completely different?
Even PuTTY not allowed in.
What am I missing?
Should I wipe and restart?
