Password changed for no reason?
I'm having a problem logging into my computer. I have ubuntu 12.04. I am 100% sure I didn't change my password, but I tried typing it 100 times, it's not working. I restarted the computer, I made sure I didn't have caps on or that the layout didn't change, I even tried logging in with ssh, but the password seems to have been changed. I am the only one using my computer. I have a ssd drive and I've heard others complaining to have the same issue with such drives. I chose to encrypt the home folder when I installed ubuntu, and I'd like to get it back. I do understand that the whole point of an encrypted home is to be unable to decrypt it, but since I didn't change the password, maybe there's a way ? Maybe, for example, the logging password changed, but not the password that encrypts the home folder ?
What can I do to be able to login again, or at least to get my stuff back?
