Good People,
I forgot my Ubuntu login Username and Password.Any ideas of how to recover them?
I like this question. On FreeBSD, I'd do the following: 1. boot to single user mode and enter the shell. By this, you become root! 2. mount the root partition 3. change the password for any user I like. For Linux, I guess you can boot off the install media (CD/DVD) and enter some recovery console. It's called emergency something....something... I don't quite remember well but it's an option on the install media. Just "open" your eyes when booting off the CD/DVD ;-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
