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"

    Also, the lockscreen should be disabled by default, it should not lock due to inactivity.

      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?
