 I got some errors after command: passwd -d $USER

passwd: existing lock file /etc/shadow.lock without a PID
passwd: cannot lock /etc/shadow; try again later.

Solution is:

Check that there’s a file called

sudo rm /etc/passwd.lock
sudo rm /etc/shadow.lock
sudo rm /etc/group.lock
sudo rm /etc/gshadow.lock

If yes remove them and try again.

If still is problem:

This can also be caused by running out of space on the root filesystem. Use strace to be sure.

sudo apt-get install strace
