Log in problems

Posted by odie_23@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Kind of an admin Noob - but no one else in this lab.

Built a RHEL 8 file server.

Has built in root and one user account.

I went to add some software today and cannot seem to log into either account.

I logged into both yesterday without a problem.

Get a 'Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again' .

I know the passwords are good, but tried the steps:

edited grub menu to add rd.break to end of Linux line

at prompt

mount -o remount,rw /sysroot

chroot /sysroot

ran passwd command for both accounts

ran faillock command for both too

faillock --dir /var/log/faillock--user root --reset

not sure that really did as, on a later boot to here, I didn't see any logs in /var/log to look problems

then ran

touch /.autorelabel

and rebooted

Same problem.

Anyone have any advice?
