Steps
Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 9.847
# Note that if anything fails after the passphrase was changed and
# before it's changed back below, subsequent scenarios might fail
# because the Persistent Storage doesn't have the expected passphrase.
