Server Login Issue

hi all, maybe more of a pi question but I tried to log into my pi today after not being in there for a good while (openhab has been running flawlessly) and I cannot log in. i still use the main pi login (yeah i know). i enter pi and then it kicks me to “session stopped” and doesn’t let me go further. openhab is running fine. i can unplug and plug it back in and it reboots just fine.

i use mobaxterm and have tried putty too.

i’m sure its something easy just not sure what to do at this point.

thanks!

ok, got this one figured out!

followed the directions here. worked like a champ. sounds like a power outage can cause this.
