mac terminal login incorrect

Try going to Terminal Preferences > Startup tab, and check that “Default Login Shell” Is selected. if it is, select “Command (complete path)” And type login username. You might have to enter password every time you view terminal.

After installing macOS Big Sur beta my terminal behaves weirdly. If I start terminal after PC restart I can start terminal just fine, however if I close it and try to start again I find myself at blank terminal saying “login“. I get the same problem with iTerm and native Terminal.

I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.3 and when I open the terminal (with terminal.app or iterm) it just hangs on the login process. I’ve tried restarting, changing the startup command to /bin/bash, and deleting the terminal preference file.

Terminal always creates a terminal session via /usr/bin/login. If you specify a custom shell or other command, it passes that as an argument to login and login runs the command instead of the user’s default shell.

I can get a regular login by changing, under Terminal Preferences, the default start as to /usr/bin/login. This is what it’s supposed to be with the normal option, but here I get different results: login: /Users/ *me*/firstprogram/build/Debug/firstprogram; exit Password: Login incorrect login: *me* Password:

After going through this sequence of steps, I’m no longer getting the “login 80×24” issue in Terminal or iTerm2 – YMMV. After upgrading to the developer beta of macOS 11 Big Sur, I ran into an “login 80×24” issue in Terminal. Here’s how I fixed it.

Make sure that you are using the correct password for your user account. If you are unsure of your password, you can reset it by going to the System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Reset Password. or see here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860.

I’m trying to get a terminal open, and I get this message: NO LOGINS: System going down at 01:10 Login incorrect login: *myname* Login incorrect login: It doesn’t prompt for my password. This happens with iTerm2 and Terminal. I’m using zsh, and when I change my default command to bash it runs fine. Is it possible to get a zsh session open?
