Thanks for your messages.

Hey, that's a good idea! Maybe this is the time to go to Trisquel 8 and contribute to testing.

Sorry, I meant I have simply forgotten the new password I set to my user, so I'm locked out, but fortunately I still keep with me the passphrase I used to encrypt the home folder when I installed Trisquel long ago.

Magic Banana: I like the idea of moving to Trisquel 8, but your 7-step guide does not include a solution to my problem, does it?

I guess the step 0 should be to decrypt the home directory somehow. I guess with ecryptfs-recover-private. But, will that leave permissions as they were so that later everything works ok?
