Re: I cannot log in to my debian wheezy system!
Hola!
I- m starting to get desperate! I found lots of instructions on the
web about how to solve this, but none of them works. Example, I
founmd this
In grub press e ton edit options
add to init options
init=/bin/sh
RET
press b to boot
Then mount -o remount,rw /
passwd kjetil
(repeating new password twice)
exec init
and then giving new password.
Does not work, I cannot get into my system
Whats happening=?
Kjetil
