Re: [Trisquel-users] How come Trisquel don't have recovery mode?

Well, an easy way to change your password if forgotten is an extra  
functionality. In this case, the user will have to go through what an  
attacker would do: burn a Live system, reconfigure the BIOS to boot it, read  
GRUB's password and edit GRUB's menu. Nothing hard and that is my point: no  
extra security is provided (unless you encrypt the disk) given a local access  
to the machine. Nevertheless I understand your point: the alpha  
student/employee will not attempt to boot a Live system (if he/she even knows  
what it is!). However the alpha Trisquel's user, who lost her password, will  
not either...
