Thank you very much for this video.. I worked exceptionally well
Your post is life saver as I hadn't backed up my Ubuntu desktop and files / folders in some time. Lesson Learned as well

Thankyou sir, it worked for me. I had two important codes in the Linux. Thanxx

[davidejs]

Thanks for the video. It worked very well for me

[najashmohammed]

Please, does it retain all that you already have installed and also documents or it opens it as a new interface?

Please help.. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and followed everything you demonstrated. In fact it said that I updated my password successfully. Then I exited the recovery mode and did a normal reboot. At the CNC "Password" prompt I entered my new password and got the response, "Invalid password, please try again" I then went back and did the entire procedure again and it still said it was invalid. Unfortunately this is time critical for me. Note: my Linux OS had previously been working great, it's just a situation where I forgot my password and had not written it down. THANK YOU for your help sir.

[garimagarima]

Thanks a lot for the valuable information. I did it with the help of given information in this video

[francislayton]

I did notice that after I entered "ls /home" I got back "cnc" in blue and then the next line I got the prompt and then I entered "passwd cnc" then I hit the enter key and got back, "Enter new UNIX password:" which is not what I saw in your demonstration. Your example just said on that line, "New password:" So this might be a clue as to what's going on..

Its was asking for root password and at the same time.... Whatever i type or just hit the keyboard button nothing goes typed on screen... Wht to do now..?

[justaperson]

It worked magically on my Ubuntu 22.04 lts thank you bro

[ihammads]

i have reset the password successfully but it is not working on login screen

[lexfrost]

When I boot to grub it won’t give me any of these options.

[bcdjrise]

When U know what linux is, you know that you will disable the root or you set a syrong password for it. Of course this tutorial is for those who never set a password for root, not knowing that this user exists by default:)

Thank you it worked, but my system does not Ubuntu it says my username-VirtualBox, is that okay or I did something wrong?
