ok fine.
was not aware this would possibly cause problems.
maybe someday an easy recovery will be an alternative.

thanks for the help.

thanks for responding.

yes i did and now realize i should not have.
this is a fairly new install so i am ready for the worst.
if a new install is the easiest route then so be it.

what do you think?

Software & Applications / password fail (SOLVED)

« on: March 31, 2020, 02:26:12 pm »

Lenovo T480s running P10
the extra level of security was setup at installation so at initial boot-up i have a boot password then login password.

the laptop shutdown due to low power on battery.
i connected ac adapter and booted up.
i entered the 'boot' password but it failed so i re-entered the password.
again, it reported 'failed password'.

the error '60 seconds going to sleep' came up so i powered the laptop off, waited 10 seconds and powered up.
now all i get is a repeat of the above scenario.

i have been able to get to a terminal input type 'unix command  input' that states the following:
*****************************************************************
No key available with this passphrase.
cryptosetup (nvme0n1p3_crypt): cryptosetup failed, bad password or options?
Please unlock disk nvme0n1p3_crypt:
*****************************************************************
how do i get around this? i don't need the extra level of security so it can be removed.

Software & Applications / upgrade from P8 to P10 (SOLVED).

« on: October 21, 2019, 11:04:04 am »

i am an amature Linux user at best.
i have been using Peppermint 8 now for two years. i had wanted to be free from the Microsoft ball and chain for years before finally pulling the trigger to go fully Linux. i absolutely love it and will not look back.

like i said, i am an amature. i do not write code, i am not into gaming or graphics. just a ordinary home user searching the web and email user.

so my question is: should i upgrade to Peppermint 10?
what are the advantages to doing so?

any thoughts or input from the Peppermint user group and or Guru's is much appreciated.

thanks much to all...
