I gahther this is a new installation and you would only lose
a few hours of configuration work, correct?
No. It was a fully working installtion. I wouldn't car that much about
this problem, but I wanted to backup my stuff last weeekend (old backup
was messed up). So basicly I'm standing here without any backup from the
last few years...
So you unlocked it sucessfully a number of times and suddenly
this does not work anymore? Any changes, like a different
keyboard?
Yes and No, I didn't change anything... Thats why I think it has to be
something with the keyboard...
For example if
you have, say, 12 characters and 9 of them are the same on most
keymaps, then you could try a direct brute force.
I had the same idea last night. although my password is about 20
characters long a brute force attack shouldn't take too long, because
there are 4 special Chars [eg ()_-] and 8 numbers. Letters shouldn't be
the problem, numbers too...
Letters, except 'y' and 'z'. Numbers should be the same.
Specials you will have to try some alternatives.
Sounds doable.
Arno
I avoided y z, so there should be no problem... Any suggestions how to
go on further?
