Thank you all!!! I am in the process of resolving the problem. Actually I have installed tails linux in a usb and I am working on it... I passed by only to say thanks, but if I have another question or if I (we actually, you included of course!) resolve the problem I will say something... see you!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Lost password on Trisquel machine!
It seems that the /home partition is not encrypted, then there are numerous ways to retrieve the pictures. The easiest way may be logging on your better half's account and copy the Pictures folder of your account to her home directory (if there is enough disk space remaining on the /home partition): sudo cp -r /home/worse_half/Pictures/* . Replace "worse_half" with your account name.

Another alternative to external boot (works up to Trisquel v8): 1. Hold [Shift] key when booting computer (don't wait anything appears on screen) 2. You will be presented with a black screen titled "GNU GRUB" 3. With keyboard arrows, select "Advanced options for Trisquel GNU/Linux" and press ENTER. 4. Select "Trisquel GNU... (recovery mode)" and press ENTER 5. After many boot messages, you will be presented with a blue screen 6. Use keyboard arrows to select "network" option and press ENTER (this will enable write capabilities to system volume) 7. In same menu/screen select "root" option and press ENTER Let's assume user accounts are called "wife" and "husband". Type in this, to reset "husband" password: passwd husband +ENTER After this, you can type in the "reboot" command and you will be entirely happy.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Lost password on Trisquel machine!
One possible alternative to external boot: Let's assume user accounts are called "wife" and "husband". IF "wife" account has admin/sudo rights, using this account she can explore "husband" folders and get his files. When using standard Trisquel (Mate): 1. Applications menu 2. Accessories 3. MATE Terminal 4. Type in: sudo caja +ENTER 5. Click on UP arrow icon, and you will see both accounts folders When using Trisquel mini (LXDE) 1. Applications menu 2. System tools 3. LXTerminal 4. Type in: sudo pcmanfm +ENTER 5. Click on UP arrow icon, and you will see both accounts folders El 13/10/19 a les 22:03, mk...@sapo.pt ha escrit: > Hello to all.

> You can reset your user password by chrooting using a live CD: This is what I would suggest if the OP wanted to go back to using this system. I am under the impression that they just want to recover data from it, which can be achieved more easily by mounting the disk with graphical tools. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

> Do you recall whether you encrypted your disk or home directories when > installing Trisquel? Ah. Just reread your message and saw that you were able to get into your wife's account. This means that the disk is not encrypted, which is good. That was my worry, since the graphical Trisquel installer has an option to encrypt the entire disk. It does not have an option to encrypt your home folder, so unless you used the text installer (which does have such an option) you should be okay. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If so, you're out of luck without a password. If not, the following might work: You'll need a bootable CD or USB running Trisquel (or another distro). If you don't have one and don't know how to create one, see here.[1] Boot into the CD or USB drive and select "Try Trisquel without installing." Once you're in a Trisquel live session, open the file manager. On the left-hand side of the window you will see a list of media. Hopefully your hard disk will be in there. If the disk is not encrypted, you should be able to click on it and mount it without a password. If that works, you should see a "home" directory. Enter it. There, you should see a directory for each user. If they are not encrypted, you should be able to enter these folders without a password. If that works, copy the files you want to recover onto some other medium. Good luck! [1] https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb signature.asc Description: PGP signature
