Questions about root/demo password and mouse DPI

[Member Veneristas]

Hello!

Will try to make it short. I’m using Antix Live in persist_all. I’m a new guy, using it that way on an actual SD card (don’t ask how, why, what, but you can mock me if you want lol) for personal reasons that are too annoying to explain. Here is my problem: when I first booted antix live as persist_all, it did asked for me to change the demo and root password. Not knowing that characters wouldn’t show up on screen, I guess I simply smashed my keyboard like a silly man, and somehow got the password be set as some garbage.

So I am now stuck. Can’t access certain settings and what not. So, how do I actually reset both demo and root passwords? And also, second question that I don’t seem to be able to solve as well: how do I actually change the mouse sensitivity (DPI I Guess)? No, changing mouse accel does not do anything. Is there anything I could download or some random command line I could use to change the mouse sensitivity?

Thank you for your future answers! 🙂

Best to start all over and take care when setting any password

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

With regard to mouse speed, that is hardware dependant, means some mice you can make changes easily others maybe not at all.
Lot of background info and advice at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/673407/unable-to-change-mouse-sensitivity.

i use a Tecknet EWM01002 Mouse, can set speed by changing resolution at push of a button, quality wise this makes logitech
which I used before seem tacky. The device was also inexpensive plus amazing battery life. Downside, it is a fingerprint
magnet.
I dumped logtech due too many hardware defects with recent products, replace every 2.5 years or so is not my wish. Users
fed up too.
