Is it possible to gain access to root account, or maybe at least have an access to regular user console, or even unlock desktop session without knowing password of root or regular user's password? How this can be done? I'm talking about computer not having any remote services like ssh exposed, even in lan What should I do if for example I forgot hypothetically luks encryption password but still have computer powered on and locked gnome or kde session? What in case if PC doesn't have enabled magic sysrq? Just asking because I'm curious, not because I have problem described above Thank you, whiteman808.ctrl+alt+backspace can give you terminal access if you locked your X windows and it had not been started from a display manager (so started with startx)Unless you've locked it with vlock, I suppose? (vlock -na)
IMHO vlock can't lock standard tty.I want mean, vlock can lock all xterms you have opened for example, not the login session opened at tty2
