If you haven’t set a password before, then it should be the default one: empty. Then, to use
sudoyou will need to set one by usingpasswdcommand.In case if the password was set in the past: the only way would be to run factory reset, or restore from image.
i tried running
passwd deckthen tryingsudo passwd deckand it worked :D tysmBooting from any rescue Linux system and removing or editing
/etc/shadowin the overlay partition would work as well. No need for a factory reset.
