- remove battery. this exposes a tiny slide switch. push switch to left (i used a toothpick). this puts the webbook into cdrom mode. Replace battery.
- power up and wait 15 secs or so. you now get a series of questions about configuring a cdrom (don't worry, i don't have one either!) the answers are: No, No and Continue. You get to a menu labeled 'Ubuntu Installer main menu'.
- Choose the last but one menu item 'Execute a shell' You get a message about running 'ash', select 'Continue'. You are now in a normal root shell (note: this mini OS is running on a ram disk, you can't see your hard disk yet).
- Now mount your hard disk: keyin 'mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt'
- Change your effective root directory to the hard drive. Keyin 'chroot /mnt'
- Now change your password. Keyin 'passwd' and enter the new root password twice (note, it doesn't echo your password keystrokes). After the second entry it should say "password updated successfully".
- You can change other users' passwords by entering 'passwd username'. I did do this but my username didn't work because, i think, my root partition is full.
- Keyin 'exit' twice, this takes you back to the Ubuntu Installer main menu. Now choose the bottom option 'Abort the Installation'. Say 'Yes' to 'Are you sure you want to exit now?' And the system shuts down. Power webbook off before it reboots.
- Remove battery, push switch to right and replace battery.
- Boot as normal. If your login window does not have the root user, choose 'Other', keyin 'root' plus the password you set.
1) Turn on your computer, and as soon as you the Press Esc to enter grub message, press the escape key. 2) Select the option that says (recovery mode).
3) Your PC will boot into a shell. Once you get a command prompt, type "passwd username" where the username is your username. If you can't remember your username, then you can type "ls /home" which should bring it up.
4) Enter a new password when prompted, and again when prompted again Type "shutdown -r now" to reboot your system,
That's it. You should now be able to login with your new password.
