hey,
I cant login into my account(my admin account) because for some reason the password is changed.
I used ubuntu live cd and I chroot my ubuntu on the hd.
when I enter "passwd username" I get :
Quote:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
|
when I enter "vipw -s" i get:
Quote:
vipw: Couldn't get file context: No data available
vipw: /etc/shadow is unchange
|
d
when I create a new account with "useradd -m username" and try to set the password with "passwd" I get the same msg:
Quote:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
|
any ideas?
thanks,
danny.
p.s
I use "likewise" to login to ldap db and I remember I read somewhere that it can cause problems like this.
I dont want to uninstall it and reconfigure it again.
