Hello,

I have a possibly stupid question motivated by curiosity. 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

I ask about if it's possible to gain in some smart way access to data
stored on powered on physical computer while PC is locked (tty or DE)
and I want know about methods of doing it.
