try the correct password
>>
>>108501793
type in password where, in apt?
Your solution is to mount the live USB you installed it from, mount the installation drive, chroot into it, and fix your /etc/passwd or change the root password.

curious, did you try making a test password on a test account you know is good first, and verifying that password is good? Did you also try sudo su to get a root shell and change use passwd <user> to change that user's password?

Ask gay-eye for help.

>>108501817
yeah, i did try to type the password into the terminal, i couldve sworn that it's 100% the correct password

and no, i never create a test password an a test account to test out if the password is good :(

did you set a root password and a user password? that could be where you fucked up. usually root pw is left blank.

i use doas because i dont use debian based bullshit
>>
>>108501793
Kinda dumb but if you're not from the US, your keyboard layout might differ from the one during install. Have you considered that? Try out the password as the username and see what it prints out.
