The simplest method to reset Steam Deck Sudo Password - NO DATA Loss!
Reset Your Steam Deck Sudo Password in under 2 Minutes.
Note:
1. if when you press Ctrl+Alt+F9 your steam deck freezes because you forgot to hit the space key on your keyboard after the 1. The command line should look like this " fbcon=rotate:1 systemd.debug_shell " at video 01:08. Please make sure to add a space after 1 then type in the command "systemd.debug_shell". It works flawlessly.

Note: Tested with Steam OS 3.5.17 still works flawlessly.
Make sure your Steam OS is on the stable system update channel ( I only tested with the stable channel not sure if this works pre-view or beta Steam OS).
1. Some ppl said their Steam Deck freezes when pressing Ctrl+Alt+F9 because you forgot to hit the space key on your keyboard after the 1. The command line should look like this " fbcon=rotate:1 systemd.debug_shell " at video 01:08. Please make sure to add a space after 1 then type in the command "systemd.debug_shell". It works flawlessly if you type everything exactly as I instructed in the video.
2. if your keyboard is not able detected, please boot into the BIOS settings and change the USB Dual Role Device setting from DRD to XHCI.
Here is the video shows how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/P9tfDxEN1ag/v-deo.html
3. when you are typing your new password, nothing will show on the screen this is normal. ( do not use a complicated password or special characters in your password it won't register )
4. If your keyboard is not working on STEP.7 make sure your keyboard is set to Windows mode. Some keyboards have two modes: MAC & Windows.
5. if your steam deck screen freezes on STEP.7, power down the steam deck and re-do the whole process again then it will work.
Thank you for clarifying!
0:44 hey i have the Problem that i cant Open the Menu With 3 Dots and power, i think the Problem is that i only can boot Steam OS via Boot from file bc of dual Boot and update. Is there another way? 😢
you can use this method if you have dual boot

@@ED4T dont work, when i Type in 1st cmd it dont chroot, so the other 2 dont work
You can disable dual boot from clover app and use the method in this video then. Download clover and run it it will give option to temporarily disable dual boot.
Still works in June 2024. I got it working with a wireless USB dongle keyboard. You are a life saver man!
Thanks. Good to know it works with the dongle keyboard too
.
@ED4T if I don't have a usb keyboard how can I do?
@@giovannidambrosio1171 use a wired keyboard
This is the only fix for May 2024. No other fix worked. Thank you, saved me a major headache.
You are a legend. I had to reset my password and most video tutorials suggested to reflash the deck which I didn't feel comfortable with. Your tutorial was much easier and took 5 minutes to resolve.
Thank you!
Great to hear!
I bought a steam deck dock so that I could do this with my wireless keyboard dongle plugged in. You were right. It took less than 5 min. Thank you! This was so much better than trying to go through the recovery image process.
Nice work!
Legend, thank you so much. I forgot the space so my SD froze. Following the steps from the beginning fixed it for me. Thanks again.
Holy shit. Thank you so much! I've been having issues with this for MONTHS, and didn't want to wipe my Steam Deck. Amazing stuff!
It worked like a charm!! The other methods were too complicated and troublesome for me, I was about to just factory reset before coming across your tutorial. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks enjoy !
THANK YOU! every other tutorial was painfully complicated and needed so much setup, but this took me all of 5 minutes LIFESAVER 🔥🔥🔥
Glad it helped! enjoy!
Fantastic, I am sure you have saved me a weekend. No idea how a password even got on there. You definitely saved my mental health, big time. Many thanks!! 😃
Mate you are a legend. This method works as of 01/04/24 on the 1tb steam deck OLED if anyone is stuck in the same position
Thank you so much… you're a lifesaver. I had to follow the instructions twice, because it would just freeze after hitting CTRL+ ALT + F9 for the first time. but the second time it worked
Great video, super easy to follow along with and got me back in action with my password. Thanks so much for posting this!
As of 05/17/2024 this still works, I needed to update decky but forgot my password, followed this video and it helped me. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the confirmation!
Why wouldn’t they just have a frog or password option absolutely ridiculous
thank you for the amazing tutorial. you saved me probably 2 hours trying to fix the password issue as well as spiking the thing out of frusteration.
gave a like and sub, thank you so much for the help!
No problem. Thanks for the sub and happy gaming !
YOU ARE THE BEST! They should add this troubleshoot instead of the flash image guide on the steam deck forums
Excellent, thank you. It still works a few months later.
I just had to use this method to reset my Sudo Password. The Steamdeck refused to recognise my previous password, which was "passwd". I remember setting it, I even wrote it down, but Sudo wouldn't recognise it.
I couldn't install Emudeck without it.
I just installed Emudeck and remembered that I didn't even need the password, since I needed to install Emudeck from the system's desktop...
Oh well... At least it's done now, anyway.
Great to hear it works now. Enjoy
can confirm this works on LCD steam deck as of may 5 2024. Thank you so much man. got into some trouble but realize i just wasn’t typing the command exactly as you had it. thank you so much for the quick and concise tutorial. was such a great help
Worked for me now with my lcd steamdeck
@@Frikandeliger 🙌🏻
Thanks a thousand times for the tutorial, I had to take the scenic route through the BIOS to make my keyboard working but now, I took the power back !
Cheers
no problem. glad it helped !
What did you have to do?
@@jakecochran8808as I said, I had to edit a parameter in the BIOS so the key combination would work
@@1337-Ramielyeah but what does that mean
my dude, you are awesome. i saw a video that said you have to have a usb flash drive with a steam repair image and you made it way easier than that.
Cool, thanks
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Straight to the point and literally takes like 3 minutes if that to complete!!
You should do all the tutorials on youtube moving forward. What an EASY instruction/tutorial. Thanks man! +Sub
Thanks for the sub! I will just try to push out more content for tutorial videos.
This worked 100% OMG! Thank you! I was very skeptical and desperate at first but I'm so glad I tried it. Man I owe you.
I "liked" and subbed.
Thanks
Thanks for the sub. Happy gaming
Dude ur the best steam deck guy, every time I need something I find one of ur videos, I’ll subscribe
Thanks for the sub. Happy gaming !
I kept looking though other videos and reddit threads that were not working ( I was using a USB to boot into the Steam OS Recovery)
and this method not only was easier but worked first time
thank you! glad it helped
Thank you for this! Certain I never set a password but trying to reinstall Decky and it was adamant I had!
just subbed I just found you in my time of need and you pulled through big time thank you x a million
you are very welcome. I am glad it helped.
Broooo!! You just saved me so much time lol! Thank you for making this. It worked perfectly on Steam OS 3.5.19. I tried many different methods and was about to just reinstall everything. Thank you!
You are an absolute hero! Thanks for this easy to follow instruction.
Exactly what I needed after I failed to create a recovery usb drive. Thanks a lot!
Glad I could help
very based of you to make this video, a lot of your steam deck videos have helped me and you aren't begging for likes or for me to sub either so big ups for the good content bro
Thanks for the support. Happy gaming man !
THANK YOU!! ive been looking for a good method for months and thry all seemed terrible. this method worked perfectly!!!!❤
enjoy! happy gaming
Thank you so much! I used to use another method that involved making a recovery flash drive, but that no longer worked. I did have to run your tips a few times to get to the Ctrl+Alt+F9 step, but after that it was smooth sailing. Thanks again for saving me time and frustration :)
Hey mate how did you get CTRL ALT F9 to work? I cannot get it to work for some reason, nothing happens!
@creptor9166 check my pinned comment
@@ED4T thank you! I did definitely put the space after the 1. I did it 3 times and still not working. Any other possible errors I’m making?
Maybe find a different keyboard. Some modern compact keyboard does have issues .
THIS WORKED!!!
You are my hero 😢 I was getting a headache and wanted to cry,
You saved me heartache
Thank You! ❤
No problem 😊
Thanks man. Only tutorial that worked and actually got to the point.

July 5, 2024 still working! Big thumbs up.
You saved my life! Thanks a lot.
You are fuxking legend...
This is the easiest and effective way I found on YT, other tutorials are all useless, just time-wasting bullshit.
Thanks again!
no problem man enjoy !
Thank you so much for this! You are a legend!
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm. Also I was able to use a bluetooth keyboard. Just in case you dont have a wired one. Of course you need to plug in the bluetooth adapter via a usb-c adapter.
great tips ! thanks
Fantastic solution. Thank you.
Worked well, thank you man ! ❤
Made me feel like a hacker. Amazing tutorial. Thankyou!
THANKS! This worked perfectly!
Glad it helped!

Thank you so much, this saved me! You have a new sub 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you so much my dude, this helped me greatly.
Glad I could help
yaaaaay it worked! thank you!! this was so much trouble before i found your video.
i will say though i don't think the fn + f-key commands work on steam deck with all types of keyless keyboards, mine works completely fine but I had to go find and plug in a second one to get to the ctrl alt f9 menu
Glad to hear this. I doubt the key wireless keyboard will work. Should use wired keyboard for sure.
Worked like a champ! Toughest part was finding a USB keyboard LoL.
Nice work!
Lifesaver!! Thank you so much! 😃
Glad it helped!
It works!! Thanks!
You're a life saver. I confirm it works. Bless you!
Great to hear!
Somebody found a bsod fix for the bios 120 121 mismatch this tutorial saved me from a full reset thank you
Thanks a lot, Man! This is definitely a good thing to keep in mind! :D
yeah, man. this method is so easy and fast. it could be really helpful when deckers forgot their password.
I've never seen that screen before. I just learned something new.
glad to hear that! thanks for the comment
Thank you what a great video saved my journey
Thankyou. More Blessings to you my friend. It works
Thank you !
Thanks! It works! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

I forgot how to linux. Thanks!
*_Decky Loader_* broke the UI and I needed to update it via the DT but it wanted a PW that I haven't used for over a year.
Amazing, thanks!
Thank you, worked like a charm
Thank you so much! Works as of 17 April, 2024
Savior. Saved. Subscribed.
