I realise that my keyboard has some dodgy keys when I tried to use my administrator password, so I don’t actually know for sure what it is 😬

A significant mistake! Luckily there’s no real setup issues or anything and I’m happy to reinstall - the only thing on there is my steam downloads which will take ages to download again

Is there a way I can save those files and reinstall bazzite from my original thumb drive installer so that I can fix my mistake this time?

    Did you give yourself Sudo privileges? If so you can use sudo passwd root to reset the password.

      Hmm… I might have actually asked about the wrong problem. Im logged in with the only user account on the machine and that’s an administrator account. I actually do remember and can enter the password for this.

      I don’t actually recall setting a root password for the account which is probably why it’s failing.

      I encountered this when updating bazzite, after it’s done its thing, it asks if you want to press R to reboot. When I do that it asks for the sudo password, which I guess I don’t have? What should I have done/do now?

          Hmm, any idea why it might not be accepting my password in this case? I’m using KDEConnect to interact with the machine, maybe something there 🤔
