Summary | 0002573: Kali 2.0 root login | ||||
Description | I update my Kali to Kali 2.0 and i am unable to login as root using my old credentials. I am able to login to the Console with the same username and password but I am not able to login using the GUI interface (gdm3). I tried changing the password from console and still no change. I also created a new account and i can login now but it don't have root permission. | ||||
This happens because /etc/pam.d/gdm-password is updated and the following line is added: auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success The following patch will fix the root login again. cat gdm-password.patch--- gdm-password 2014-06-13 23:44:06.000000000 +0200 |
