You are a genius. Thank you so much. Greetings from Argentina. You really save me. Thank you again.

[@barntswithbraidey1]

I always stopped at init=/bin/bash and then updated my password and it still didn't open my Kali Linux but then came across your video and that grep -i "\b$\b" /etc/Shadow really helped me find my correct username which i didn't realise was as necessary as the passwd to log in. Thank you sir 🙏🏾🇳🇬

after i excecute i dont get the passowrd command and it just gets me back to the login

[@kasyahsydnor6944]

me too its not taking me to edit the pswd

[@bruhtf8443]

When youre on the grub start page and you have to press "e" you need to make sure you're pressing e on the "Kali GNU/Linux" option and NOT the "Advanced options for Kali GNU/Linux" option. Then for me i saw a line saying "ro quiet splash" which i changed to "rw quiet splash init=/bin/bash" then you should be able to do ctrl+x and give it a moment then it will take you to the command line so you can edit your password like in the video. @@kasyahsydnor6944 👍

[@grego_enos]

reboot -f

How do you type backslash on macos? I can't figure it out.

[@michaelchandriotis7225]

Hey, i am currently logged out and when i try to retrieve the username however the terminal interprets the symbol \ as # and \ is needed for the command, i also cannot copy paste and im using the newest version 7.0.18. If anyone knows if this bug is with the newer version it will be very helpful
