[SOLVED] LFS login not possible even after reset

basan46 · 10-31-2014, 05:49 PM

Hello,

I have trouble logging in after my LFS boots and asks for login n password.
I am assuming login is LFS, coz I don't remember setting a login nam, if not how do I know my login name.
Password I've reset it twice and confident about it.

Once when I had my previous password, I typed it on the login part and saw that it was typing z instead of y..my keyboard works fine..

Plzz help me, im waiting to boot into my LFS

Login to lfs system is root only, No lfs user. Adding users is in BLFS

Just to add a little more... Review again section 6.25.3 of the LFS book. When you installed Shadow you were prompted for a password for root. You were asked only once (no verify prompt). Whatever you entered back then is the password you would have entered to log in as the user "root" now. But you said you changed the password, so enter that now. Anyway, the lfs user is in your host system, not the new LFS system. Only root exists in the new LFS system at the moment (as already mentioned by spiky).
