Hi, after grub boot up I get the blank black screen (v2.0).
ctrl-alt-f2: root:<pw> doesnt log me in, as it says "Login incorrect". I log in with the same credentials every single day, so I know they're correct (caps locks off). Tried 'toor' too, just in case it reverted back, no bacon.
SSHD doesnt seem to be started either as another way to potentially log in (known via nmap scans -p 22). Ive been in the field for many years now, but this ones got me stumped. Im thinking it may have been hacked (or corrupted), though im a pentester and fairly careful about what commands i run.
Ive tried the usual tricks from other links, but am unable to login at all:
