timekpr: inadvertently locked myself (admin user) out & can't boot - how to fix?
#7
Hi Mike,

An addition to Wirezfree recommendation.

If you just want to edit a file on your installed system there is not even the need to chroot. It would be enough to navigate to that file, either via the GUI filemanager (Thunar) or via the command line and open/edit it as root/Administrator. So in your live system you locate the partition/file system of your installed system and look for the file.

That all said, I assume you have not encrypted your system partition...

Hope that helps Smile
