Hello All, My friend, Winson, who is also a member of CLUG, received a computer from one of the members of CLUG with Ubuntu on it. But Winson does not have the root passward.
I have a CD of Ubutntu 10.04 desktop burned on Sunday 2010 June 20. Is it possible using that CD to change the root password without ever knowing the original root password? If so, could you please tell me how I could help Winson change the root password to something he can easily remember? What I would do first, is change the root password to something we both can easily remember, then set up Winson as user account. Then he can change the root password to what he wants it to be. All the above steps are easy except the first step, to change the root password to something we both can remember without ever knowing the original root password. All help is appreciated in advance.
