root	<reply> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo	Added by Seveas Date: 2006-06-18 01:18:28 Last edited by LjL Date: 2007-12-05 23:00:16 Requested 4150 times
password passwords lostpassword pass	<reply> Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords	Added by Seveas Date: 2006-06-19 11:02:45 Last edited by Flannel Date: 2008-09-18 15:22:37 Requested 797 times
noroot supportroot	<reply> We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information.

ghost ircghost	<reply> If you own an IRC nick that is currently being used, you can make it change nicks by typing: «/msg NickServ release <nick> <password>» - If you have a dead (ghost) connection, you can make it quit by typing: «/msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password>» - Further help in #libera	Added by Seveas Date: 2006-06-19 08:42:30 Last edited by kryten Date: 2021-05-24 22:54:31 Requested 314 times
identify	<reply> You can identify to NickServ automatically when connecting to Libera. See https://libera.chat/guides/sasl for more information. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type «/msg NickServ set password <newpass>» in the server tab as soon as possible.

doublejoin	<reply> Your IRC client is completing NickServ authentication after joining channels, which triggers a fake quit and rejoin to apply your cloak and increases channel noise. The best way to avoid this is to use SASL (https://libera.chat/guides/sasl). Other options for automatic login exist (e.g. CertFP and server password) but sometimes complete after channel join.

xauthority	<reply> If the .Xauthority file in your home directory has the wrong permissions (usually due to misuse of sudo), you may be unable to log in. To fix, change to a virtual terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F3, log in with your normal username and password, run rm ~/.Xauthority* and then reboot.	Added by dax Date: 2019-04-22 05:03:12 Requested 21 times
