If you already have the correct password
will do.Code:sudo passwd username
to recover or change password without having to use the old one, in case you forgot it...
bootup in recovery modes/
then
Code:cd /home/You'll find your username there.Code:ls -a
then
Enter new UNIX password:Code:passwd username
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
reboot, log in with your username and passwd.

for SIS 771/671 use xcompmgr to have transparent terminals. just load it at startup.
And then they asked: what's a pbkac error?
You guys never fail me, i know my (now old) password im just updating it, any idea on why im not in the Users and Groups GUI though?

To be honest;
I don't know anything about encrypted Private Directory's.
However;
After some research I found this;
To change your passphrase, use ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase
Code:ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
Hope this helps for you.
Also;
Automount will fail when autologin is used.
Found it all on this wonderfull page from bodhi.zazen.

ps; I've never seen a sloved thread, only solved ones.
