Hola!
My system, debian wheezy amd-64, refuses to recognize my password. I am sure I am typing it correctly.*
I was able to , at login time, where grub pauses to ask which kernel tyo uise,*
to choose the maintenance option, dropping me to a shell. There I was able to type
sudo passwd kjetil
which asked to give a new password, which I repeated
then it said password succesfully changed. But no effect,*I can still not login!
What is happeninmg?

If you arre logged in to the singler user mode, maintenace shell?, you are root
and do not need to use 'sudo' That said, not sure about your failed login as
user. Maybe try using the 'passwd' command without 'sudo',

Hola!
I- m starting to get desperate! I found lots of instructions on the
web about how to solve this, but none of them works. Example, I
founmd this
In grub press e ton edit options
add to init options
init=/bin/sh
RET
press b to boot
Then mount -o remount,rw /
passwd kjetil
(repeating new password twice)
exec init
and then giving new password.
Does not work, I cannot get into my system
Whats happening=?

Instead of changing your password like that, what I'd do is after "mount
-o remount,rw" I'd "vim /etc/passwd" and take out the x for root:
i.e before:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
after
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
save it, (make sure it saved ok.) then reboot.
You should now be able to login as root without needing a password
and investigate from there.
Does that work?

Does that work?
Thanks. So far not .
Several problems:
¿Whats the point with the line init=/bin/sh**** ?
It does not seem to work, I am dropped into bash
¿shoud I remove the x in /etcv/passwd or in /etc/shadow* or in both?
so far I tried in /etc/passwd
and it does not work.
