Working in a Virtualbox VM using the standard KDE version of the .iso. I get locked out due to inactivity during a live environment session. Trying to enter the empty password doesn't help me. How do I deal with this graciously?

    IIRC in the live environment, the password for the "nixos" user is also "nixos"

    That was the first thing I tried.

    TTY1(?) and what I see elsewhere say that the password is empty.

      Yeah, it's empty by default: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/5defcb4b0d6c286e8b4b2869cf38efb4cdeb5bf4/nixos/modules/profiles/installation-device.nix#L31-L40

      Can you login via the tty?

        IIRC, when I went into a TTY while on the lock screen, I was already working as the nixos user. Is that what you're asking?
