You will probably have to activate your admin account (again) as normally this should work out of the box.

How do I reactivate my admin account ?

Let's first try and see if my suspicion is right.

Please execute the following command on your server (as root):

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/shadow | grep adminDo not post it's output in the forum. Instead just look at the line for the admin account and tell us if it has a random string after the first colon ( : ) after the username? other possibilities are two exclamation marks (!!) or a asterisk (*). Please let us know which you see, but do not post the random string if it is there.
