How to reset your password

If you’ve forgotten your password, don’t worry — you can easily reset it through Recovery Mode.

Instructions on how to enter Recovery Mode can be found here.

Once you’re in the recovery menu, follow these steps:

Select “Root” using the arrow keys, then press Enter. This will open a terminal window with administrator (root) access.
Reset your password by typing the following command:

passwd {your-username}

If you’re not sure what your username is, you can see a list of users by typing:

ls /home

You’ll be prompted to enter a new password, then re-enter it to confirm.
When done, type:

reboot

and press Enter to restart your machine.

You should now be able to log in using your new password.
