Authentification for Firewall Config won't accept password. - Thorin - 03-06-2017
Very new. Hope this is in the right place. Could not find the same problem elsewhere in forum. I have checked many times that I am putting password in correct and even copied and pasted. It says unsuccessful. What am I missing? Thought I would try resetting the password as per manual but I get two letters into my username and it types out a bunch before I can even finish. Password works eslewhere anyway. Completely new to linux. Thank you for any help.

To reset password - Menu, Settings, User Manager.

Are you sure you have installed 3.2 LL? It could be that you are using a beta version....

Ok, thanks Jerry, I tried that... Still the same. It says change password under new user right?
Revox, I downloaded from the link on the Lite sight that took me to Sourceforge. Would this be beta and how would I tell? Excuse my ignorance with any of this.

You have installed this to your hard drive right?

It is meant to be the same password as log in right? Says file too large.

Tried making it smaller on your Imagemagick. Won't accept:
"crop2.
You cannot upload that type of file. The only allowed extensions are txt,log,cfg,conf,err,zip,tar.gz,bz2,tar.bz2,tbz2,tgz."
Frustrated. Should I just wipe clean and start again? Is there a chance I have a beta version. It thought I saw "Beta" at some point. This is taking days and my internet is not that quick

Looks like you're trying to attach the picture rather than display it. See here for the proper procedure - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/introductions/forum-posting-guidelines/
Thank you.
