Well, I know the password. If I forget that password (unfathomable) and
would need to reinstall the entire laptop, it is not really the end of
the world. The laptop has no data that is not saved elsewhere.

I got that on a previous install by using apt-get as well as the system

Mmm. My problem is somewhere in the GTK lib..but new drivers for my

Worth a shot anyway.
