help boot

Post by ekrpin » 2022/12/01 15:33:43

hi, i need help to be able to log in with login/password on startup. the server fails regularly, presents the prompt to enter login/password, but after 5 seconds it opens an application, and from there I can't log in as administrator. how can i block this boot? thank you

Can you not connect to it via ssh over the network?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

In addition to Trevor's suggestion of SSH, what happens if you hold down <ctrl> and <alt> keys, then hit <F2>?
