I am trying Arch Linux for learning more stuff faster and not having GUI that bothers me, so that I can focus on learning stuff from Linux itself and the terminal. Since I was working with the default root@host I decided to create a new user. After creting the new user with a password and a dedicated user folder I rebooted and then neither the password for the root nor the newly created user worked... Maybe I did it wrong and don't understand how accounts work.
I used the following line to create the user in Arch.
useradd me -Umr -b /home -d /home/me -p newpass
Did I do something wrong or something? It seems i'm not able to login now from neither accounts.
My intention was to create a default user account that is not /root so that I am not always logged in as root user, so that when I boot up, the newly creted account pass is asked.
password
? Was it the actual password or did you encrypt it first?
