OS X and Windows have a basic recovery/repair environment that do not require any sort of login to access, and that includes password resetting. I'm not really grokking the point of systemd making single/emergency target locked down like this; physical access is assumed because in emergency mode there is no network. And physical access has always meant full access unless the volumes are encrypted. I'm a bit stumped how this is supposed to work without really esoteric knowledge. -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
