17.7 Legacy Series / Re: After upgrade to 17.7.8 web gui is inaccessible over local lan.
« on: November 29, 2017, 01:07:42 am »
From the console, neither root nor installer userids work with the default password.
I reviewed the article at mxwiki and tried the password reset idea.
From the single user login, I entered 'passwd' and got the prompt to enter a new password. I then get an error message: "passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module". The password is not changed :/
At this point, I'll boot off the USB stick, reinstall and wait for the next release
Between this login mess the upgrade made and the difficulty in getting a bootable USB from windows (which I couldn't -- had to go find a linux box to use 'dd' on b/c rufus kept sending my PC to a bsod), I'm not feeling real comfortable with this project.
