Don't do this.

You did a "thread hijack".

You took a post of mine, subject "Re: Need help with a laptop that will
only run Plasma/Wayland", hit reply to it, then erased the content and
the subject, and wrote your own.

And it shows. Your post is inserted in the middle of an existing thread.

Instead, please create a _new_ post to the mail list.

Are you talking of a root password, or of a LUKS password?

Because the root password can be replaced. The LUKS password lost,
forget all hope.
