What is the sudo password after installation?

Hello. I installed Garuda Xface and set a password for disc encryption with the option to use it also for admin (or whatever term it was in the installation) user. Setup assistant asks sudo password but does not accept the one I set nor 'garuda' which was my guess for the password seen as dots in the settings manager -> user accounts. What to do?

Below is a copypaste of garuda-inxi.

Failed units:

Last line says probably Windows dual boot. It is not, I only have Garuda Xface on the machine.

The sudo password should be your normal user password.

Installation did not ask anything like that. I only gave disc encryption password and set it to be used also for admin user. If I did, then anyway it is the one and only password I gave during the installation. It does not work. But luckily I can open the encryption and use my computer.

Settings manager shows that I have a six character password. The password I gave is longer.

Just an idea, in case your keyboard isn't US English, it may be the case some keys are in a different place.
I recall that when I installed I used accented characters in the password and I had to find how to type them by trial and error.

Looks like the settings manager shows always six chars.

I am not sure what you are looking at but that doesn’t indicate the length of the password. It is probably just generic.

The installation didn’t ask you for a password? How did you login?

I forgot to mention that I typed the password attempts also to browser so I know that they are correct.

I set no login password asked. So I only give encryption password and Garuda starts.

And now I can't create flash drives because I have no password. Luckily I have an old Pop OS and Windows 10 USB available.

???

Please explain
