Solved. I was able to run sudo pkcon update and that fixed it. I can log in now but the desktop is rest to system defaults

I updates my distro, kde neon. The login screen changed and now it will not accept my password. I have checked caplocls, numlock, all that. It is the only password i set for it will not take it. I have no other usera on my pc so i cant just login as someone else.

What password is looking for, why is the password i used to login this morning not working?

Summary Distro kde neon Problem logon screen not accepting password

    As in, you can type in the password but when you submit it, the login page says it’s the wrong password? Or as in you can’t get the password box to accept focus? Or as in when it has focus and you press a key, it doesn’t add dots to the box indicating you’ve typed in a character?

    Not accepting password can mean any of this, or something else. You said what you did to fix it but you didn’t say what was the actual problem you had.

      Ok to provide more detail After tue updatecthe login screen changed. It looked completely different.

      When i typed in my password and hit enter it would go black and the right back to the login screen.

      Incorrect password

      Typing stuff did make the black appear. It would just fail everytime.
