timekpr: inadvertently locked myself (admin user) out & can't boot - how to fix?
#6
If I understand correctly.?
This sound like something I needed to do when I was playing(and still am) with RAID.

You have booted a live LL and gone sudo su ?
That will give you su in the live environment


To change things in the actual "real" environment you will need to chroot
But what steps to get to your config files, not sure what you will need..??


For my RAID stuff I needed to mount/bind various folders 1st,
Then do the chroot , then I could edit modify the RAID settings in the "real" underlying set-up.
sorry I can't be more specific, but I'm sure it requires chroot.?
