My password isn't being recognized
Today I tried changing my password and got annoyed at all the set requirements it had to meet to be accepted. The one I had set when installing Zorin didn't meet those and was still allowed but now I wasn't allowed to modify freely as I wish.
So I got into the terminal and tried changing (things like minlen and dictcheck). But after running a few commands I started getting an error message every time the terminal asked for my password. I went to the settings and typed it there, it also wasn't correct. The new password I was trying to set isn't either. Obviously I made sure the caps locks are not turned on and I was typing correctly.
I'm certain at no point did I enter any other password than these two (the old one I had, and the new one I was trying to set) and both aren't working.
Help I'm so confused
