debian jessie after dist-upgrade, passwords not working

ooccjava · 07-12-2015, 08:35 PM

Hi, today I updated my debian jessie by
apt-get dist-upgrade

and there was an error said there was something wrong with some database, and I needed to run some command, but after the upgrade I forgot to run the command. After I rebooted my system I found there was not any password needed for a normal user or the root. But if I change to the emergency mode, a root password is needed.

Thanks.

Perhaps you can see if a root password is needed to run passwd and set a new password
