Hi all,
Due to a very long inactivity I simply can't remember my root password for Mageia 6. I can't update anything without it.
I have tried the method explained here but once I type in a new password, either it's not accepted because it's too short or a "dictionary word" or for any other reason and if it's not this, then I get an "authentication token manipulation error".
I'm stuck with this and I'm wondering if I will be forced to install the latest version from scratch. (Anyway it seems that it's not possible to upgrade directly from Mageia 6 to 8, which is another problem I'll address in a separate post.)
Thanks for helping me out in this matter.
