I believe digg screwed up your link after editing.... I really wish they would fix that :/
In any case, this isn't a hard solution. Just be root and run 'passwd username' and then type in your new password for that user. Done and done :) - weizbox, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1'I really wish we could do this in other distributions of linux.'
You can, most(very close to all) Linux distros have the 'passwd' tool. You may not have a 'recovery mode' by default for grub, even tho a lot of distros have them... but in any case you just need to run that command as root and your good to go.
So why were you 'wishing' that you could do this in other distros? What distro have you worked with that didn't have the 'passwd' tool by default? - defconoi, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/recover-fo ... Is more informative and contains 2 additional ways to do the same thing, it also looks like the person copy/pasted some things from ubuntu-unleashed, nice addition with the screen shots though
