Ubuntu 7.04 Profile locked by administrator

Posted 17 May 2007 - 06:23 PM

Hi I have Ubuntu Fiesty Installed on my computer, and I think I messed something up. I've had it working fine, but I messed something up and now when I try to log in, it says that the profile was locked by the administrator. I booted in recovery mode, logged into the terminal as root, and ran startx, so I've got a gui to work with. Problem is, when I go to users and groups, it says "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." Whats the deal? I can't figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

Sounds like you lost root? There are several ways to get it back. Not all of them are listed here but should get you started.
