Password Mate

[Karleen Chura]

Iam trying to boot ubuntu-mate 16.04.2LTE versionin raspberry pi 3.

I have downloaded the image from -mate.org/raspberry-pi/ubuntu-mate-16.04.2-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img.xz . But after booting the board i can login only as guest user where i cant do any devlopment activity. I am not able to install any packages because its ask for root password.

By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu and sudo command is used when root priviledges are needed. IMHO this is a good approach since there really is no sane reason to log in as root on a desktop system.

You forgot Windows administrator password and there is no pre-created reset disk? Someone changed the computer password without telling what is? There are many kinds of reasons to force you resetting forgotten Windows password. Once you were locked out by the computer, don't panic or frustrated. UUkeys Windows Password Recovery program is the best choice you have to remove the login password and security settings that prevent you from logging into the locked computer without knowing the password. UUkeys has a set of powerful features to easily reset Windows computer password, including normal user password, administrator password and Microsoft account password. See table below for program version differences:

UUkeys Windows Password Recovery Mate makes it extremely easy to unlock your Windows computer. It provides two options to create a password reset disk: CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Once you've created a reset disk with it, then insert it to locked computer and you can remove the password quickly.

UUkeys focused on easy-to-use and practical software development. When compared to other similar product, UUkeys program has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and safe. with no technical knowledge required, UUkeys Windows password recovery tool can burn a CD or USB that takes over from the whole boot process automatically, then reset Windows password as easy as 1-2-3.

UUkeys recovery program was tested on various of Windows computers and 30+ hardware vendors without any problem. It works as it promised. It's worth mentioning that many other password reset utilities don't work Windows 10 accounts but UUkeys did it successfully. It was updated, tested and verified by millions of enterprise and individual users.

I must post on here to show my appreciation to the team. The password app was deleted by accident including Windows admin password. Without the help of this program, all my passwords were gone forever. Now I got back all the passwords. I have no other words to say but deeply thanks to the team.- Loren

Whenever I connect the laptop to the docking station, MATE pops up a window which says, "Enter a password to unlock the volume" along with a text field and options to forget the password immediately, remember until logout, or remember forever. (Not "don't show me this popup again," which is what I would prefer.)

Under normal use, I want to have this external USB disk unmounted and idle. I have a cron job which unlocks the disk via a key file, mounts the partition, and runs an automated backup. I don't want this partition to be mounted all the time, nor do I want it to be accessible to my ordinary (non-privileged) user account.

I am not familiar with the application prompting you for a password (gpg has a similar program called gpg-agent), but I would think that "remember forever" would make the password prompt not pop up again (since the password will be remembered).

"Browse removable media when inserted"

I forgot my password for Ubuntu MATE and I've read that the only way to reset it in Ubuntu is to enter recovery mode and enter a root shell etc. The problem is, I can't figure out how to enter recovery mode. Shift never works when I hold it down (it works when typing etc.) and I can't use sudo to, for example, force recovery mode to boot by modifying recovery.cmdline. I do have auto-login set, so I can still use the OS, but some stuff I'm doing requires sudo, therefore I need to reset/recover my password.

Users switching from one operating system (Windows, macOS, Chrome, Linux) to another often find that it's the simple things where they need help. Like changing your user information. This article provides the step-by-step for changing your password and basic user information.

Unfortunately, the dialog box displays both the term "Full Name" and the term "user name." These should not be confused with the term "username." What you are changing here is your full name that is used to identify you throughout Linux.

Changing your username, the login name that Linux knows you by when you log in and in the terminal, is not something you can do graphically. You will need to use a couple of commands in a terminal to accomplish this. This article on the Ask Ubuntu website explains the how and the why.

For experienced users who already own a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 unit, StellarMate OS is a complete software package ready for deployment on your Raspberry Pi. It is provided as a compressed OS Image file (.img.xz) that you can burn to an SD card and fire it up immediately to enjoy the full benefit of StellarMate software stack. The following packages are included in addition to the base OS:

If you need to download StellarMate OS again in the future, make sure you are logged in to the stellarmate.com website and then go to the Orders page. You should see a list of your orders. Click on your order link, then scroll down to see the downloads. Make sure to download the SM OS version appropiate for your hardware platform.

Raspberry PI Imager is a graphical SD card writing tool that works on Mac OS, Linux and Windows, and is the easiest option for most users. It supports writing images directly from the zip file, without any unzipping required. To flash SM OS image:

For new users, using StellarMate effectively can take a bit of a learning curve (like everything else) especially given the breadth of the features if provides. Here are some useful resources to get your started:

We are proud to offer top-notch support for our customers. Please make sure to checkout first the Frequently Asked Questions and First Time Setup.

Please make sure to submit the relevant logs to aid in diagnosting and resolving the issue efficiently.

I'm now at the broken-record part of the customer support cycle, where all roads lead back to the same question. I know it's not this poor guy's fault that their system doesn't have an administrative interface but my sympathy only goes so far.

"Here? No, we implemented it and a bunch of other security measures but then we got told to turn them all off because it's hard for people to remember their password when it changes every six months. So there's no complexity and a two-year lifetime. The only time one of the execs on the top floor changes their password outside of this process is when they start up extramarital relationship in the building and don't want their PA to find out."

The environment provides an intuitive graphical user interface for administering AL2 instances with minimal use of the command line. The interface uses graphical representations, such as icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers, and desktop widgets. Built-in, GUI-based tools are available to perform common tasks. For example, there are tools for adding and removing software, applying updates, organizing files, launching programs, and monitoring system health.

xrdp is the remote desktop software bundled in the AMI. By default, xrdp uses a self-signed TLS certificate to encrypt remote desktop sessions. Neither AWS nor the xrdp maintainers recommend using self-signed certificates in production. Instead, obtain a certificate from an appropriate certificate authority (CA) and install it on your instances. For more information about TLS configuration, see TLS security layer on the xrdp wiki.

To get the ID of the AMI for AL2 that includes MATE in the AMI name, you can use the describe-images command from your local command line tool. If you have not installed the command line tools, you can perform the following query directly from an AWS CloudShell session. For information about how to launch a shell session from CloudShell, see Getting started with AWS CloudShell. From the Amazon EC2 console, you can find the MATE-included AMI by launching an instance, and then entering MATE in the AMI search bar. The AL2 Quick Start with MATE pre-installed will appear in the search results.

Launch an EC2 instance with the AMI that you located in the previous step. Configure the security group to allow for inbound TCP traffic to port 3389. For more information about configuring security groups, see Security groups for your VPC. This configuration enables you to use an RDP client to connect to the instance.

Open an RDP client on the computer from which you will connect to the instance (for example, Remote Desktop Connection on a computer running Microsoft Windows). Enter ec2-user as the user name and enter the password that you set in the previous step.

I ask because I've recently copied the contents of an Ubuntu based live ISO (easypeasy, the ldistro for nwtbooks) onto a hard disk drive, but the Squashfs file system is corrupt, most likely because I copied it live. :) So it's not autologging in. Is there a username/password for this?

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I've solved this another way, so it's not a problem for me anymore. I discovered recently that it's possible to disable the password for an account. You can do this to force ssh key logins. I suspect that's what's going on here.
