I DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP 3 HOURS EARLY MORNING BECAUSE OF MY SISTER. She needs my laptop tomorrow. Linux Mint Cinnamon is on it. I think 19. Anyway, I don't want to get up tomorrow just to enter the start password. How can I turn it off? Please only write answers that are a meaningful answer to the question and not 'don't do it. Too insecure 'or' just give the password to your sister 'because I use the password EVERYWHERE.
I know you wrote that you won't give it to your sister, but why don't you just try to change it until she no longer needs it and then you change it back to your default password.
And how does it work?
Create your own user with your own PW and stick it with Postit.
At least on my server I go to the console, there should also be a console on your laptop, there you just enter passwd and then you will be asked to enter a password, try the time.
Does it then have access to all files? Because that's good then
I'll have a look, until further notice thanks
Just create your own user with your own password…
Depends on which one. Not the ones in your account for now.
You have your files in / home / user1. They belong to you and first of all no one else has access. Then you create user2. It then has its files in / home / user2. If you want to share a folder in your account with everyone, you open a terminal and type chmod 0777 / home / user1 / derfolder. Probably also right-click, Properties, but I don't know Mint well enough to tell you how the file manager works. The above works on any Linux.
Ahh, dirt, was meant as a comment.
Either you change your user password or you create your own user account for your sister or a guest account.
If you want her to have access to your files you can add her to your user group then she should have access to your home directory.
In this case you will find this under / home / USERNAME /
Incidentally, the variant via the user is the variant that is usually used in a multi-user system.
How can I change the password?
Terminal open, then the command to change is called "passwd"
Go to the console and enter passwd then your current one, then the new one, and the new one again.
Or via the user administration. You can find out how it works in less than 5 minutes through Google.
You can just type "passwd" into the console.
If you set up a separate account for the sister, then your sister will not have access to your files. Unless you put your home directory with your files in your account.
That would be too easy.
