login problems
Hi,
I have been where you can write an personal pincode but did not write anyhing. I may have pressed ok intsead of cansel. Now, when I turn on the computer, it asks for a pincode... I tried not typing anything and then okay but it doesen´t work. Does Linux have a standart pincode...? anything I can do, and not delete everything on my computer?

Hello and Welcome!
Linux doesn't have any standard codes to get into the system... just user names and passwords. Do you know where you were when you set your 'pin'? What is displayed on your monitor when it asks for the code?Jay

Do you know what user name this code was for? If it was just a regular user account, you could change it to something to know by becoming root, and typing:
then it will ask what you want the password to be. But if you know the information that jay asked about, that would help out alot in finding an answer for you.Code:passwd usernamehere
