I have a Toshiba Satellite M105 currently installing Debian KDE 11 and after around 5 mins, locks me out unexpectedly and the password to get back in is unknown. Help?

I have not touched any settings whatsoever since the software is currently installing.

You could try using the passwd command before beginning the install to set a password, so that when you get locked out you can log back in. Most live and install disks dont have passwords set for any of the users, they just command the DM to automatically log in.

  • Maybe you could elaborate at what step the OP should use the passwd command when installing the system, and how to access a console such that this change will have an effect on the running installer system.
