Reset forgotten password for Ubuntu 16.10 in less than 120sec
Do you think it is that easy to reset the forgotten password in less than 120 secs??
I say, yes it is possible.You can try keeping timer by side, so lets break-in,time starts now
Steps:
- Get into the Grub and Go to recovery mode
- Drop to root shell promptand Change the password
- Sync and reboot the system
1. Get into the Grub and Go to recovery mode
As you can see i am not able to login, so lets reboot the system
After this make sure you are fast enough to enter to grub before it loads full Gui mode so keep pressing "esc" key so that we can enter in grub menu
Select Advanced options for Ubuntu and hit Enter
select the Ubuntu with recovery mode
2. Drop to root shell prompt and Change the password
Select root Drop to root shell prompt and lets change the password for the user we want to
and remount / with read and write permissions
As we can see the password is changed .now we are ready to go
3. Sync and reboot the system
Now try with your new passwod and Have fun !!!
