Questions about importing pools

When i press 4 and enter it asks for a password and the same thing happens after a reboot. I assume it says that because truenas scale is based on debian linux.

Likely because this setting was changed:

So does this mean i have to reinstall the truenas os?

If you can’t remember your password, yes.

At this point, yes, that’s what I recommend you do.

If your pools had been encrypted I would have pointed you in the direction of changing your Grub settings to enter single user mode, but it’s entirely possible that wouldn’t work either due to how the TrueNAS has been setup.

Thanks for the info luckily reinstalling the os and re importing my pools shouldn’t be a problem. Luckily my networking setup isn’t complicated and setting up plex takes 2 seconds. Thanks everyone for the help.

You should always have a backup of your configuration… actually, you should always run @joeschmuck’s Multi-Report.
