I think this has been coveered before but I may have fouled it up
I just installed 11.0 on my new laptop. I thought when the user page came up it was for root. Later it was clearly not so i went into yast and change the password. Neither the one i set thinking it was root nor the one I set from my ordinary user now work. I can get into online update in yast but if I try it from the taskbar it asks for the root password.
How can I fix this?
Oh I am logged on using the original password. What will happen when I leave an come back as my normal user with the new password?
Have I fouled things up too badly?
Are you logged in as root? If you are, you should be able to open a command session and see "#" as your prompt. If so, you can use the passwd command to change the root password. Once that's done, you can use it again to change the user's password. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
