How to fix "can not open access to console the root account is locked"

I recently experienced this problem, but I only had answers that did not help. Then, I was able to get a hint from the short opinion of the Linux Forum.

This problem is related to the change of the drive. If it is not properly reflected in /etc/fstab, such an error may occur.

  1. Download SystemRescueCD and make a bootdisk: https://www.system-rescue.org/

  2. FDISK and MOUNT

-> Run systemctl mask systemd-logind
-> Run pam-auth-update (and deselect Register user sessions in the systemd control group hierarchy)
