Yo, Just installed 9.1 Pro. New installation so no conflicts with my old system. Default install. Installation went fine (until the monitor setup, which has been a problem with every SuSE release I've used, and I knew how to fix that afterwards). The problem, and it's an irritatingly serious one: Not sure what's causing it, but for some reason my system seems to forget where to look for passwords. I auto-login to KDE with my user account. That works fine, which is how I'm able to send this e-mail. The first couple times I used kdesu and su, it accepted my root password fine, including for YaST So I have all the latest updates via online update as well. But then it suddenly starts giving me "incorrect password" errors after a few times. It doesn't remember my user password either, as if I end the session and try to log in via kdm, I get incorrect password on both the user and root. I tried restarting and going into init 3 instead of the usual 5, to see if it was a KDE issue. But no, I get "incorrect password" in console mode as well. I know I'm using the right password... as I said, the first couple times I tried su and YaST and etc., it was accepted. I never tried changing the password. And I can't try now... in the case of root, I simply can't access root now because of this, and if I try to change the user password, I have to verify the current password, which it won't accept. I tried installing on my old junk laptop, and the same problem happened! Reinstalling didn't help either. Where do I start to figure out this issue? Esp. keeping in mind I can't access root. :-/ Thanks, Joe
