I recently installed Ubuntu 25.04 on my SSD, which is 1TB, while keeping Windows 11 on another 512GB SSD. Initially, everything was fine, but on my second boot, my password wouldn't work at all, even though I know I'm entering it correctly. The login screen only offers the 'suspend' option, which forced me to use the power button to shut down. I'd like to know if there's a way to change my password or remove it completely. My setup includes an Intel i7 11850H processor with integrated graphics and an Nvidia A3000 GPU. If you need more information, just ask! I even tried Ctrl + Alt + F3, but that didn't help. Interestingly, after several force restarts, it seemed to resolve itself, but I'd still like to understand what caused the issue.

There could be a keyboard layout problem affecting your input. It's worth checking to see if that’s causing the issue.
It's possible that you might have accidentally typed something different from what you think you entered. It's a common mistake, especially under pressure. If you're still sure about your password, consider resetting or removing it altogether.
I get that, but is there a way to reset or remove the password? That’s what I'm looking for!
Have you seen the edit? Restarting might have resolved the issue on its own!
You sound super confident about your password, but maybe it’s worth reconsidering just in case? It’s tricky when you’re locked out.
I hear you, but I’ve entered the same password and it’s noted in my edit!
Just double-check that Caps Lock isn’t on. It can be a sneaky culprit when it comes to password entry!
I actually used the 'eye' button to verify my password while typing, so I'm certain about it.
Good to hear, just double-checking!
I used the eye button again while typing my password, and I also noted that after a few restarts, it magically fixed itself!
