You have to use the root user password when you execute su not your user's password.

| Aug 24, 2017 at 0:25 | comment | added | W.Jackson | It's a known bug in the installer. bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=866206 edit: IMO the easiest way to fix this is - 1. When grub starts, hit 'e' to edit the startup environment. 2. In the editor, find the line that starts with 'linux' and add CODE: SELECT ALL init=/bin/bash to the end of that line and hit esc or F10 to boot the machine. 3. Next, remount your root filesystem read-write like this - CODE: SELECT ALL mount -no remount,rw / 4. Change root's password like this - CODE: SELECT ALL passwd root 5. Reboot. Done :) | |
