Live environment lock screen can't login as `nixos` (Virtualbox VM, KDE Plasma)

Tomorrow_Farewell [any, they/them]@hexbear.net to nixos@lemmy.ml – 3 points –

Working in a Virtualbox VM using the standard KDE version of the .iso. I get locked out due to inactivity during a live environment session. Trying to enter the empty password doesn't help me. How do I deal with this graciously?

IIRC in the live environment, the password for the "nixos" user is also "nixos"

Also, the lockscreen should be disabled by default, it should not lock due to inactivity.

That was the first thing I tried.

TTY1(?) and what I see elsewhere say that the password is empty.
