Ubuntu Security :: Cryptsetup Won't Accept Password After Normal Reboot?

Feb 2, 2010

Strange thing happend two days ago. I just wanted to reboot my computer and now I'm no longer able to boot o0. My system is runnig with a full encryption with luks/cryptsetup. I'm using a passphrase to unlock my first partition and it will unlock the others by itself. So far so good. But now it doesnt work anymore... I'm not sure what I did before, but what I know, I didn't change anything! about cryptsetup. I did only a little "update" with the recommended packages from the repositories (guess only 4-5 updated)

I already checked with live cd and same thing there. Not able to unlock any device (what seems strange to me, cause there are 4 of them and all corrupted at the same time...?)

I always get the error message: unlock failed, bad password or options? (on boot) Command failed: No key available with this passphrase (live cd)

First thing I did was checking wheter all modules are loaded:

Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
sha256_generic 11580 0

[Code].....

Ubuntu :: Su And Gksu Don't Accept Password?

Sep 1, 2011

I have this issue on both Ubuntu and Lubuntu 11.04 64-bit on 2 different machines. I have not tested 32-bit.

When I run synaptic or update-manager it presents me with gksu, not gksudo as it previously did in previous Ubuntu releases, no matter how many times I try it will not accept my password.

I have even given it command line arguments to print the password to the terminal and it's correct.

I have found a workaround - by running gksu-properties and changing the mode from su to sudo it will now display gksudo and accept my password.

However, I want to know why it won't accept my sudo password for the su and gksu commands? There are no error messages which are outputted, the gui just says incorrect password.

Ubuntu :: Sudo Doesn't Accept Password?

Oct 10, 2010

I've read through some threads here but the problem I'm having doesn't seem to be the problem others are having.

I just reinstalled 10.04 today after my last installation messed up after a month.

early when I first installed the terminal and sudo were working perfect but now, this is what I'm getting:

[sudo] password for dimebag:
<password>
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for dimebag:

I tried every solution I saw and nothing works. I've been having a heck of a time trying to install things.

Ubuntu :: System Will Not Accept Password At Unlock

Nov 29, 2010

I recently did a clean install of Maverick Meerkat and copied a few configuration files from my old system. I can log on normally, and the system works just fine. However, when I lock the workstation with any method, the system will not accept my password. I'm certain that I'm typing it correctly (I tried over 20 times) and that the capslock is not on. When I reboot, I can log in again just fine. In other words, my password only works at initial login, not when unlocking the workstation.

Debian :: Would Not Accept Password In Terminal

Feb 12, 2016

I just set up my Debian 8.3.0 Jessie install a couple of days ago. Today I am having a problem carrying out a command in terminal. All I want to do at the moment is make sure my firewall is active. I log in and out of my computer using the password that I set when I originally installed Debian, and I use the same password in the package updater, but today it would not accept that password in terminal. Here is what I am seeing;

rocky@debian:~$ sudo ufw-enable
[sudo] password for rocky:
rocky is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
rocky@debian:~$ sudo ufw-enable
[sudo] password for rocky:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for rocky:

CentOS 5 :: LUKS Won't Accept Password?

Mar 16, 2010

I have recently installed CentOS 5.4. I went ahead and enabled encryption for the root partition. everything was fine for the first few days, but today it started refusing my password on boot. The weird thing is after refusing the password several times it accepted it once, then when I rebooted to test refused the password it had accepted moments earlier. I guessed the password file got corrupt or something so I did a clean install. During the install it asked for the password to access the partition and accepted (!) the password. I went ahead and deleted the old partition and reinstalled from scratch just to be sure. And I made extra certain I put in the correct password with no fumble fingers. Sure enough the blasted thing refuses the password I just created during boot. However, if I input the password into the setup it accepts it. What the hell is going on here?

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Manager Won't Accept Password?

Apr 7, 2010

I'm using 9.10 most recent updates. I want to connect to a wireless network and get a dialog box offering "WPA & WPA2 personal" as the only choice. The passphrase I was given is 6 letters but the "Connect" button does not light up until I get to 8 when entering wpa/wpa2.

Do I need to convert the passphrase somehow?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installed 10.10 64 Bit; Does Not Accept Administrator Password?

Oct 10, 2010

I had 9.04 64-bit with / and /home in separate partitions. Today I used 10.10 alternate install to install a command line system. Then installed gnome-core, synaptic, gparted, and a few other things. Now when I go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager or to Gparted, I am asked for the "administrator password". I type in my password, but it is not accepted. However, from a terminal I can "sudo synaptic", give my password, and install whatever I want.

Debian :: New Install Won't Accept Username & Password?

Jun 20, 2010

I have just completed a debian netinstall, but am stuck at the "Welcome" screen. Though I took careful notes during the install re the "user account" (did not use my name as my purpose is to get the pc running and give it away) and "user password," it will not accept them. I would like to change or edit both (debian isn't telling me which is incorrect). How can this be done?

Also, this is looking for the "user account" - not the root info, right?

If I am forced to reinstall the OS, will I have to go through the entire process (partitions and all)?

OpenSUSE :: YAST Does Not Accept Root Password?

Oct 24, 2010

Just installed SUSE11.3 and everything was ok until did initial online update. Following update, YAST will not accept root password when launched from KDE (have not tried other window managers). Dialog box is presented to enter root password. It reports back "invalid root password". But I can run yast or yast2 from command line (as root) and that seems to come up, but not all items seem to work.

I can log in as root with no problem. Only YAST will not accept my password. I'm running KDE on a Dell D610. Ran SUSE 11.0 for several years, absolutely no problem.

OpenSUSE Install :: 1.3 Splashscreen Won't Accept Password?

Jan 3, 2011

I'm running 64-bit 11.3 on a Dell 1535 laptop.At lunch today, the system booted-up as normal, then shut-down as normal. A handful of updates were installedduring that time.This evening, however, I arrive at the password splash screen, enter my password, and then the system churns a few seconds before resetting the splash screen. No error message, no "wrong password," just a normal splash screen. I tried going into Xen, the default 11.3 and failsafe -- same thing happened with each. When I navigated to the command line, my password worked fine, both for user and super-user.

Ubuntu :: CLI Version Of 10.04 - When Rebooted The Command-line Login Would Not Accept My Password

Jun 8, 2010

I have an old PC (130mb RAM, 6gb hard drive).

I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu 10.04 using the Alternate CD. The machine was wiped, and I used most of the default settings.

I used a thirteen character user id which consisted of mixed case letters and numbers, and an eighteen character password that contains mixed case letters and numbers and a # sign.

When I rebooted, the command-line login would not accept my password. I assumed I had somehow made a mistake, and just wiped the machine again and reinstalled. This time I was very careful with the user name/pw.

Again, the command-line login did not accept my password!

On a hunch, I took an old Ubuntu 7.10 Alternate CD and erased the machine again. I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu. AGAIN --- it will not accept my password even though I'm 100% sure it is correct.
