Disabled root ssh access, lost user password, any way around it?

You can always login as root at the (lish) console. You’ll need the password though.

Do you have any users with sudo access? If so, login as one of those (ssh or lish console); enter su & that user’s password; and shazam! you’re the root user!

— sw

Thanks for the answer Steve. I just figured it out, somehow my terminal was in bracketed paste mode so was adding 0~ 1~ to everything I pasted into terminal, but because I was pasting a password I couldn't see it! I did a reset and it fixed it. Never had that problem before.
