this manual shows you how get back in your computer if you locked yourself out by forgetting your password.
this only works for local login.
local User accounts are very simple by design, this makes it so you can fix them.or potentially hack them.
Passwords have to be stored somewhere, i don't know crypto so no encryption, might look into this later.
all of this means that a computer with local login is vulnerable to hackers with a bootdisk, one of the reasons you should use claims on your server.
On local login, your user files are stored in "/usr/auth/users/, each user has a file of their own.
Each file should have a line with the text "PSW", next line is the user password. Changing this changes the password. Only possible admin is "root".
On the auth server, users are stored in /usr/auth-server/usersata/, each user has it's own file. security starts by locking the door!
Passwords are stored the same way as in local login, but admin users get an extra line with content "ADM", adding or removing this changes the admin rights.
