You must have left out quite a lot of information about your system for
this to even make any sense at all. Passwords are not really randomly
enabled.

It's difficult to start helping unless you tell us what "some instructions"
means.

If you just installed it, can't you just reinstall it from scratch?

Disappearance of the kernel

[agustín torrijos orenes]

Good afternoon! My name is Agus, and above all I would like to thank you
for the extraordinary work that all the members of this wonderful project,
including the community, perform.

I have a problem with the Testing version that happened to explain:

I installed version 9.0 "Stretch" looking with the repositories to testing,
I am almost sure that updated to version 10.0 "Buster".

I performed a cleanup of the system with the instructions "autoclean,
clean, revome, autoremove", and it seems that I uninstalled all the kernel.

When I rebooted I could not enter the Grub anymore, I just got some
instructions that asked for my password, but when I entered it nothing
happened.

I would like to know if it is possible to restore the system, and in what
way.


Thanks, and best regards ...

This shouldn't happen since kernels are blacklisted for such operations?

instructions that asked for my password, but when I entered it nothing

This password you entered is for what? Your BIOS? The rescue mode? Grub?
And what did you expected to happen after you typed this password?

Is it possible to give some more information?

You should be able to use the Debian Installer in rescue mode, detect
and mount your partitions, then fix your system. But this is really a
question for some user channel (like debian-user@, cc'd), rather than
this development list.
