hey fedi i need tech support. after the latest ubuntu update it asked for my birth date and i accidentally mistyped and put the year 2015 instead of 2005. i clicked "finish later" when it asked me to do ID verification and now my computer thinks I'm 10 and i can't change it anymore. the problem is that now i can't access the USB drive with all my uni documents anymore:

$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /run/media/lea/documents
[sudo] password for lea:
mount: error: compliance requirements not met

please help i have a paper due next week 😭
