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 |
