Mint in a login loop

Oh!, ok yes I am able to pull up the recovery menu but do not see an advanced options section. I sent a image of the menu I see.

The system responded that user ‘fixer’ does not exist

If the user doesn’t exist, it means one of the two following:

  • You created a user with a different name
  • No user was created.

If it’s the former, then use the usermod command and replace the word fixer with the username you created above.

If you haven’t created a user, then you’ll need to start from the post above - and the command useradd and take it from there. Just reboot after you execute the usermod command.

Ok, I will play around with it. Thank you so much for helping out. I really appreciate it. I’ll let you know if I am able to get it to work.
