Ok guys, I finally had to reinstall Debian bookworm and lost all my
passwords. I did get a refund on the VPN but have spent the last three
days changing all my passwords to get into the bills and pay them. I
went for PIA VPN and followed instructions to get me into the root area.
When I went to the terminal I first followed the directions which stated
sudo. I put in my new password and with no way to check it I hit
enter. Three times I did this and was very careful to put it in
correctly. It would not take it and kept saying not accepted.
So today I tried it again with just su and got the same results.
I am at a complete loss. If I can't get into the sudo file I cannot
install anything in root. I really need your knowledge. I always
double and sometimes triple check everything I do. Passwords are
written down and double checked especially the new ones I made.
Thank you in advance.
Moe
