</span>It looks bad. I believe slapd (the LDAP server) is not running for some<br>
reason. (Could be a DB corruption)<br>
<br>
To gain access: you can shutdown, insert SD card into desktop/laptop and<br>
set the password inside the SD card for 'fbx' user using `passwd<br>
--root=/mount/path fbx`. Then boot the FreedomBox and login via SSH<br>
using 'fbx' user.<br>
<br>
After that check why slapd is not running:<br>
<br>
$ systemctl status slapd<br>
<br>
$ systemctl start slapd<br>
(if not already running)<br>
<br>
$ systemctl status slapd<br>
$ journalctl -xe<br>
$ journalctl -u slapd<br>
