Tobias edited this page Mar 26, 2025 · 4 revisions

This has been asked several times so I'll list the steps to undo autologin. If you don't set a root password first, you will not be able to login to the container again, ever.

1. set the root password

sudo passwd root

2. Remove Autologin

remove --autologin root from /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/override.conf

3. Reboot Machine

reboot
