Hi !
I just installed OpenSUSE leap (I forgot the version) for the first time.
I had to reinstall it after I, seemingly, uninstalled the graphical session. I think I forgot to configure the root password the second time, I tried to do it from an early shell with those steps :
On grub editing the first command to add “init=/bin/bash”
Starting openSUSE with it
In the opened terminal, type mount -no remount,rw / and then passwd root.
Power off and on the computer.
(I just figured right now this is way to overkill for setting a root password when I had session with root privileges, duh)
The thing is I can’t login anymore, as root or as any user. What do I do ?
Password reset can be done by booting something else, then chrooting into the installed system and running the passwd command.
