I i use this method and reset password will everything else stay the same such as files and apps?

The title is kinda misleading. It says "how to reset *root* password" but it's Actually how to reset normal user password. Because clicking on the root option requests you to enter a root password if you set one, in your case you did not that's why it just let you in. In my case I lost both user and root password and I need root password to access the root she'll

​@@robertjkilgore I just gave up and just re-installed. It was near the right time I should do a re-install anyway as it has became tradition for me to reinstall my OS after every year. If you forgot user login (not just root) and therefore you can't log into the computer but you have important files that you want to get before re-installing, I believe you can open a live Ubuntu (can do it while re-installing) and mount the partition where the data is and copy the stuff you want and reinstall. There's definitely a way to get root from a normal user without password, for example I know of some root-escalation projects you could curl but won't give links for ethical reasons but if you're desperate you can look it up.

​@@bobbo2576 I don't think an error message would lie to you, so if it says the user does not exists then it means you wanted to change password but mentioned a user that does not exist 🤷 Seems it's you that used the command wrong. Would have helped if you gave the exact command rather than just what it says but you probably wrote something like this *sudo passwd A_NON_EXISTENT_USER* You can see users that can login by seeing the files in your /home directory

The person making this video doesn't seem to know what root is. The actual easiest way to do this is getting a new USB with any Linux distro installed, opening a terminal, mounting your root partition using 'mount /dev/sdXA /mnt' X being the letter assigned to your drive and A the number of the partition (You can get this info by typing 'lsblk') then enter 'chroot /mnt'. You will now be logged into a terminal with your Ubuntu installation as root. Finally you can type 'passwd root' and set a new password from the chroot shell. Type 'exit' to leave chroot, close the terminal and reboot. There is technically another way to do this without a USB by adding a certain option in your Ubuntu grub entry. If you select the top entry in grub and press 'e' instead of enter you are able to edit the entry. You should be able to add the following 'init=/bin/bash' at the end of the line that starts with Linux and press F10 to boot but I've not personally tried this. There is not really much harm in trying this but do some research on init=/bin/bash first online. It should basically just drop you into a terminal instead of starting the default 'init system' on your machine and you can use the passwd command from there too

guys please after selecting root, im not able to enter the maintenance mide and type the mount command

Hi, I have followed your video because I have forgotten my password. I am running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on VirtualBox and I originally set it to auto-logon so I can get into the OS but many things are now unavailable to me because they ask for my password before proceeding. I did the Grub -> Recovery Mode -> process but in your video it just shows "Press Enter to..." whereas when I do it it askes for my Password to continue!! Can you suggest why my Ubuntu is working differently to yours and is there a way to reset the password without actually knowing what it is? Thanks PhilipJ

Hi, I'm using Proxmox and can't access the GRUB menu. I tried pressing Esc and shift and saw the following options: Virtio-scsi drive qemu qemu harddisk + IPXE (PCI 00:12.0) Legacy option ROM When I try to select any option, it just reboots directly. Any ideas? Thanks!

It is useful for any version of ubuntu thank you your steps have worked.

Except on my server, it won't actually load the recovery mode menu. The terminal just.. hangs and yes, disable recovery mode is turned off in bios.

Your video is the only one that worked for me! Thank you! You are a rockstar!!!! 💪🏻

Thank you, worked perfectly.

This worked partway: it changed my password and allowed me to log in to my user, however I'm immediately presented with a window saying that my log-in password no longer matches that of my login keyring and demanding the old password.

Where is the root passwords reset? You show to reset passwd to other user.

Many thanks! It was very helpful.

Hello from New York City! Does your procedure work for LinuxMint also? Thank you.

If you forgot to add your user name after passwd, your password set for root don't worry just follow the same steps.. This time whenever you select root after pressing ENTER you have to enter the password you set just before otherwise it will show Login Incorrect! So now after entering the correct password enter the same commands, don't forget to add your username this time passwd

shift+esc is not working for me, how can i do that or is there any alternatives

Many Thanks Your explanation is very clear keep it up

also, many ubuntu systems disable root login, so resetting the root password is moot. you need to reset the other user's password, that has sudo privileges and not root , show them how to find the usernames ( other than the obviously disabled root ) and reset that password , also , if password login is disabled , this is not going to do anything

This guide is to reset a user's password. After you logged into the user, you can use this command to reset root password. sudo passwd root

Very helpful. Many thanks

those having user does not exist then only write passwd , no need to write your username

it worked . good work !

It is asking ROOT PASSWORD FOR MAINTAINANCE

"Please note that resetting the root password should be done with caution and only when necessary. Make sure to keep your root password secure and remember it to avoid any potential security risks." is this a safe method?
