[Tfug] A question on encrypted home directories...

[Jim March]

Folks,

I've rebuilt my system as 32bit using Linux Mint - had an app I had to
run that doesn't work in 64bit (long story).

To improve performance I avoided whole disk encryption and gone with
an encrypted /home.

Here's my question, and it's possibly a stupid one: in Ubuntu it's
laughably easy to reset one's user password.  Right?  All you do is go
into recovery mode, reset the password.

Can I safely assume that will have no effect on the key to the
/home/jim directory?!?

I mean, it SHOULD work that way, right?

Jim
