Newby played with something bad (can not log on)

[DaSpazMo]

Hi there,

In short my roommate altered our linux system so no one could right or copy to our linux mint system where we store mass data. Being the adventurous type i am, i went in all guns blazing, read all of three forum post and thought it would be a good idea to remove network settings and just reinstall them (something like sudo apt network purge tools remove). It was confirmed that the network tools were removed.

Upon start up I could not log back into the system. This is weird for two reasons. 1 we had it set to have no password, 2 the username and password did not work.

I further reset the pass word by going into recovery mode, edditing the kernel command, and making the username and passwrd in the core shell thingy. Now when i enter the username and password it just loops back to username, however when i enter the incorrect one it tells me. This suggests to me that maybe there is some type of super user thing happening here - but i have no idea.

If anyone can help you would be seen as god by all of our sharehouse.

thanks for your time
