Help for locking myself out of administrating machine
by Ian McDonald 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Somehow my graphical administration on one of my machines has gone screwball. I entered a root password incorrectly under Desktop, Administration, Networking and now it won't come right even after rebooting and using correct password. I'm getting The entered password is invalid as a dialog title and a message box saying Check that you typed it correctly and that you haven't activated the "caps lock" key This occurs after successfully authenticating and even if I try the following at command line: gksu network-admin sudo network-admin kdesu network-admin or su (or sudo -s) followed by network-admin I presume this is some sort of lock that I've put in place by doing it wrongly but how do I fix? Googled for the error and didn't get much useful back (apart from a few people who had done the same thing!)
