It took me longer to bork Debian than it did Mint. Embarrassingly enough, this post is from my Mint install. ![:oops:]( "Embarassed")
I installed and enabled UFW from terminal but failed to allow SSH. I was going to use the UFW gui for that and not thinking, I rebooted the PC.
Now after logging in, I have the Emerald screen, a cursor that moves, and nothing else. I booted to the Advanced setting thinking I might be able to struggle through it, but the session fails with a line indicating that 'root' is locked out. Truly, I am thoroughly borked.
Any suggestion on how to remedy this mess-up. I do have a clone of the install, and numerous backups that can be copied over to Mint and then reapplied to Bookworm after a clone. But, I would rather try to fix this first.
Appreciate any help.
