Hi Keith, I take it from this that you can log in as one user on the Ubuntu partition? If this user has admin access, then you can log in as that user, bring up a terminal window and type 'sudo passwd user2', obviously replacing 'user2' with the username of the second user. It will prompt you for a password, which is the password of the user you just used to log in. Then it will ask twice for the new password for 'user2'. If you can't log in as any users, before pressing Ctrl-D to continue the boot, type 'passwd user1' and 'passwd user2', entering the new passwords for the relevant user when prompted. Hope this helps.
