Subject: [newbie] Password
I just installed Mandrake 7.1 and the install went just fine but I seem
to have messed up on the password part. I tried not using a password
but
it wouldn't let me get around it during installation and I typed part
of
a password and I can't remember exactly what I typed. So X starts up
just fine but I can't get pass the login. Can someone please tell me
how
to change or get rid of my password. This is my first experience with
Linux and I know little of nothing about it so if there's a way to fix
this I'll need some detailed instructions. Someone told me to "reboot
and at the linux prompt type: linux single" but I don't know how to get
to a "linux prompt". When I start my computer my options are: Linux,
Failsafe, Windows, Floppy.
I would really like to not use a password at all.
Your help is appreciated
GREATLY.
