    My friend doesn’t know his linux password, and can’t download anything without it. But he is too impatient to figure out how to reset it. While I am stubborn and will sit at my computer till i fix an audio issue, or any problem I have.

        Yes it is real, and I think it is auto login. Idk anything about Linux. He just downloads everything via a program called Discover. I never asked which Linux distro he was using.

          I am very sure he’s just installing flatpaks, it’s likely kde’s discover. Still he could just enter their boot from a live boot and chroot into the OS and do passwd (user) to change any password I believe unless it’s encrypted or sumthing which would probably not let you autologin in the first place.
