You need to start in single mode then change his password. Do this by appending kernel line in grub menu a single word "single" then press enter and b button to boot. You will enter command line mode without login as root. Change his password and reboot. You will be able to start login using this new password. -- Regards, Anthony M.

There is a solution to this as well, but I forget it off the top of my head. It is on google though and it should be a quick search. The easiest way to deal with this, IMO, is boot off a live CD and remove the entries from /etc/passwd and /ect/shadow for root. You'll then have access. Ruben > -- > > Regards, > > Anthony M.

What is a "password set on single user mode"?

In that case, one solution is: - boot from Ubuntu cd (alternate or live, but alternate is much faster) - choose "repair a broken system" - once the partition list is displayed, choose the linux root partition - at the command prompt, type "passwd login_name" and enter a new password - exit - go to the last line, and type <CR> . you get a message "abort the installation" : select YES -- Pierre Frenkiel -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

No, factually that is incorrect. if you remove the password from the shadow password file and from the password file, you can get right in. I'd be happy to bet you 2 cheese cakes on this. This is th surefire way to break into ANY unix system that you have your hands on the consel. I don't know the experience of the people I'm speaking to on this list but know I am speaking truth here. This is not a Ubuntu problem. It is a standard *nix system admin problem and it is solved with your vi editor, mount on a boot disk.

A little common sense aplied would bring one to conclude that you don't delete the whole entry, just the password in the files.

Boot from Cd? VI? comon sense that when you said remove entry you mean remove password? (Someone who has to ask how to recover a password won't even know how to recognize the password in the shadow file to begin with!) All these fine and well intended suggestions have turned a simple molehill with a well documented/simple solution into Mnt.
