How can I solve ' sudo: unable to change expired password: Authentication token manipulation error'

Whenever I use the sudo command, the following error appears.

sudo: Account or password is expired, reset your password and try again
Changing password for root.
(current) UNIX password: 
sudo: unable to change expired password: Authentication token manipulation error

However, if i search for a solution to "Authentication token manipulation error", the only answer is to run "sudo mount -o remount,rw /", so it returns to the error in the first line :(

How can I solve this problem?

Solution

  • Just use exit to exit the terminal or reboot the system then open the terminal again and use sudo will ask you then to change the password now you can use the old password.
