/etc/passwd
: you may be able to get to this from the GUI file manager.
If not, open a terminal and type: cat /etc/passwd
. Copy the relevant lines.
To test the login, from a terminal, type su otheruser
, replace otheruser with the username from /etc/passwd
. It should ask for a password, put that in and it should log you in. Type whoami
and make sure its the same username as you expected. Paste any errors here.
Its not for you, its for spammers…
