Forum Thread: Changing Password for Ubuntu When Forgotten

Hi Buddies This Is My First Discussion

so many of us forget passwords if we forget password for a website we can get it back by getting conformation code to our gmail account but what if u forget your pc password?

if you are using ubuntu then we can recover password easily so,lets get started
if u forget password first restart your system and hit shift repeatedly to open your GRUB menu

it will look like this then select recovery mode and hit enter
after few seconds u will look some option menu and from there select root option

and then u will see something just like terminal at bottom there type
passwd {user name} and hit enter (in user name just type the pc user name without brackets for
ex: passwd max) then type your new password and retype it that's it your system password is changed
if u get any error like authentication manipulation error then type this command mount -n -o remount,rw /
then type passwd {user name} then type your new password if u have any doubt comment below i will try to solve it
