Switching to root, I am greeted by the “failed fingerprint” message, but the password for root works, so conclusion: After waiting for some time, I try the newly changed password, but it still does not work. When I boot and select my username, I don’t even have time to type in my user password and when I’m greeted by the failed fingerprint message.
