There's a chance at some point that you'll get locked out of your account on Linux. This is the process I used to reset the user password on my account.
This is NOT meant to be a hacking tutorial. ONLY use this method to recover your own account.

Very nice one. I knew everything you mentioned already (the files and everything), but connecting them altogether and doing what you did, that was a nice touch!
Instead of creating a brand new account in order to set a new password, could you not have run "passwd" in a terminal window after getting into your account without the password
I have a lenovo ThinkPad X1 running Debian glinux, was provided by google. can you help reseting it ?it asking for user and passwd
I have been able to set my user password using some of your video's content, thanks! Mike
I can't get into "advanced options" page on my sabrent/linux
Where is it? Thanks.
when i do the command nano shadow there is nothing
Great Video. I have installed LMDE on an old pc. I forgot the PW. During setup it asked if i wanted to encrypt the account, i answered YES. After following your instructions, at the login screen, I type in the password, the screen goes blank for a second (as if it is logging in), but it comes back to the login screen. No message saying invalid password, if i type in a random password, it does say invalid password.
I can't save after deleting the (X)
it gives me " Error writing passwd: Read-only file system "
Same thing happened to me
Thanks a lot man. Learned a lot plus it really helped, I had it forgotten, all my work files were saved. Thanks a lot Sir for sharing.
Glad it helped
Will this work on any Linux ?
Thanks.. Its helpful for me...
4:23 It's not letting me make up a password. It wants the original password for maintenance.
Could you not have just run “passwd CasaOS” in the root prompt to set a new password?
For some reason when I tried that I got a message saying the user didn't exist
It is not letting me set a maintenance password?
Is this specific to that device or is this something you can do on any device running Debian? This is a big security hole. It basically says that if anyone gets a hold of your device, they can 'break in' and steel you user data. That is really bad.
This is just Debian 11
There is no security hole in this. He had to use root password to change another users password.
Thanks for the indo and demo, have a great day
Thanks for watching!
Don't really see the point doing it this way... changing contents of a files that you have tools for manually is a bad practice. You already have a root password so you could just easily go to another virtual console login as root user and use passwd command to change it.
Doesn’t work for me.
Hacking is bad, M'kay? 🤣

Can't you read? I said linux not windows
There are literally no other comments from you on my channel that I can find, so WTF are you talking about?
@@DBTechYT I say Linux and people always want to explain with Microsoft junk. I just got fed up with Microsoft and downloaded Linux mint 20. cinnamon and put it on my computer. Somehow I lost or just typed the log in password wrong. First it was just the root one. and now it is both. How can I get the Usb Bootable drive to not start the system but to reinstall it instead. Every time I try it the system boots up. And there is no way to reinstall. Thank you if you can help me.
You need to get into the BIOS of the computer and change the boot order to be the USB drive first
@@DBTechYT I did that, that's how I put the linux system on the computer. Now every time I try to reinstall it. it doesn't come up with the installer just goes straight to the program. It won't boot up to install. just the program. Is that what bootable programs do? Just let you install once?
@@DBTechYT I got it. Thank you
Not all heroes wear capes Thankyou sir
