+ | I ran into the issue of not being able to log back in after locking my screen. I would have to use the switch user option and re-login. After a quick search, here is what I found: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | sudo chown root:shadow / | ||
+ | sudo chmod 2755 / | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Run these two commands and all should be well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can also try these if the first two don't work: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | sudo chown root:shadow /etc/shadow | ||
+ | sudo chmod 440 /etc/shadow | ||
+ | </ | ||
