Arch rescue mode won't accept password [fstab]
Hi! I'm still new to Linux but discovered a lot in the past few weeks. Now I wanted to mount my secondary HDD on startup via fstab. Its a dual boot setup, with refind as boot manager. But win10 only uses the drive as data storage, so no system files or efi partition on it. I used the right UUID so I think, used a correct mount point, default options and set dumps/spass as 0 cause the HDD is originally a windows 10 ntfs drive. The syntax I used should be correct so I don't see any mistakes so far. I rebooted but now it got stuck in rescue mode and prompt me to enter the administrator password or press ctrl+d to continue, but neither of it worked. I entered the right password like a lot of times. Tried hard reset but I'm in rescue mode again. Windows still loads without any issues.
Do you have any suggestions? Or do I have to set it all up again? {please don't}
As a next step I would boot from my arch Linux USB key and try to rewind my changes in the fstab file that way...
Thanks for your help!
