Thanks for replying, but when I tried the first command it spits out this
denial message "Operation not permitted". It gives me that message because I
need administrative approval, but I can access the computer only on Guest
Session.
I have the same problem. I can only access my laptop on guess session, I have
lost my administrator privilege.
I have pressed all the keys (Shift, Esc, Spacebar ...) nothing works for me.
I have read all the links posted on that thread and tried multiple time over
and over again, nothing
Indeed, encrypted disk cannot be accessed without a valid passport even if
the computer allows booting from a USB live system.
All disks should be encrypted automatically and by default.
Yes, my drive is encrypted. Grub console asks for decryption key before
anything can be done with it. Trisquel 8 Grub has no password set, contrary
to Trisquel 7.
However, MBanana's admonishment has already been echoed in the link I
provided.
"Grub allows you to password protect its
For those concerned that Grub lets drop to root shell prompt so easily,
there's a way to generate a password for Grub.

Generate hash:
$ grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2
Edit Grub configuration:
$ sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
YES THAT IS WHAT I SAW. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, SAVED MY LAPTOP.
I would like to thank everyone for your help, It is working again. would not
been able to do this without everyone involved help.
THANKS AGAIN
If you added the new user correctly, this is what you see:
myaccount@trisquel:~$ sudo adduser newuser
[sudo] password for myaccount:
Adding user `newuser' ...
Adding new group `newuser' (1002) ...
Adding new user `newuser' (1002) with group `newuser' ...
Creating home directory `/home/newuser'
would not let me add peter says already exists, true but not in log in, I
added Josef-Peter with pw but when I log in it does the same as before it
returns to log in?
Peter does not show up on the login as new user
I input #adduser peter there was no reaction? is that OK?
You should see all the account names on the login screen. If you want to
leave TTY1 and go to X, press ctrl+alt+F7.
You don't type the hashtag.
just type 'adduser peter' (without quotes)
# = root prompt
$ = user prompt
Create a new account
# adduser peter
I can Log in to my name on the tty1 screen but on the login page I had
changed the name to the person who was buying the laptop with no log in that
is when all the problems started. is there a way to change the name to peter
on tty1?
Also am I able to leave the tty1 screen and go to the computer without
logging in again? since the log in name is not mine on the log in page?
Are you in Grub or TTY? TTY is completely different.
--Grub menu access shift or escape at boot
--Advanced options --> recovery mode --> drop to root shell prompt
--mount -o remount,rw /
--passwd user_name
--reboot
Exact command mount:
'mount -o remunt,rw /' (without quotes)
Set passoword:
'passwd your_user_name' (without quotes & type your own
Do I leave the Screen on that let me log in under tty1?
how do I write the exact command to have log in go back to PW?
How do I change back to a password on log in?
What do you mean "change back"? You must have set your password. If you did
that in Grub recovery, then at the login screen, type your password and log
in.
Did you set the password?
# passwd your_user_name
It seems to have worked, what do I do next it is still on the mate screen
what do I do now?

To be sure, is your screen similar? Grub menu and options.
Thanks I tried all kinds of combinations of Log in and PW, I did that and it
came up welcome to Trisquel GNU/Linux. still on the screen now what?
Futile, it won't let the man in. Not without a password.
The only way in is to set the password. Recovery mode is the easiest way to
do this.
Artisde, when you boot your pc and you are on the log on screen if you press
Ctrl and Alt and F1 at the same time your screen should change to a terminal
and you are prompted for a user name enter it and press return or enter you
should then be prompted for your password enter it and press
Every GNU/Linux needs a boot loader (Grub is a boot loader). Grub's there and
it has a rescue option in its menu. You'll just have to remain calm and keep
your cool and press esc/shift at the right time. Try multiple times in a
sequence.
Nope, you can always reinstall the system if you think your locked out.
That's just one way, if you don't know how to burn an iso, just buy one from
thinkpenguin.com
It is extremely easy to reinstall even when I was a noob to gnu/linux, it was
easier than fedora.
i GUESS ALL i CAN DO IS THROW THE THING IN THE TRASH
I have tried it with every button, nothing brings up what it shows on the
Utube video. I am using Trisquel 8.
there is no boot rescue mode to choose
Reboot and press shift or esc before Trisquel loads. Try to press it multiple
times in a sequence after BIOS.
You'll have to use Grub boot rescue mode to gain root privileges. Select
Grub's entry "Advanced" at boot.
No idea how to get to that above?
Thanks for your replies, but I#m new to using GNU/Linux, when it boots up it
goes to sign in and the only way I can sign in is on guest which all is
temporary. Mate won't change anything because it is guest only.
You'll have to use Grub boot rescue mode to gain root privileges. Select
Grub's entry "Advanced" at boot.
With full disk encryption, edit /etc/default/grub --> comment out (prepend
with #) line 'GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0'. After changes to Grub, reload grub
configuration 'sudo update-grub'.
Do you have a password for when the laptop first boots up?
I think there is a way, but I will post if nothing else to keep thread alive.
