xtrlock with live Ubuntu and no password

2

I'm using a live USB with lubuntu to copy between external ext4 drives and wanted to try xtrlock so the 6+ hours process is not interrupted by my cats. But now can't unlock! I type no pass at all in the live session even when sudoing, so I'm puzzled. Any tips?

Thanks!

You might add a little context explaining what this does to help ensure the OP understands the detail at this level. – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-08-12T16:03:29.123

It just kills the process. – Gabriel A. Zorrilla – 2017-08-12T17:49:55.550
