I set my son up a laptop with xubuntu on it and the password I choose for root was not the normal one I use (because he knows that one). Now the problem is I can't rememebr what it was either. I want to add a couple of program and update etc. and I can't now, my son is not setup as a sudoer user so that not an option.
Can anybody point me in the direction of a set of instructions for password recovery that work, I have googled but there are many but I don't want to end up damaging the install trying to reset the password so I am looking for instruction that other have used without a problem.
