Yesterday at the hackerspace, a friend had forgotten the password to their (demo / showcase) computer.

Luckily, the convenient new sysadmin tool “copy.fail” saved the day! With one line, we could get a root shell and set a new password 😂

Way easier than rebooting into init=/bin/bash. So convenient! 2026 is truly the year of Linux on the desktop :P
