In many cases there is a chance to forgot our Username or password. For that we have to reinstall the Operating System.Do the following funny things for setting a new password for Your Machine.
If you are the debian distro user
1–>Reboot the system.
2–>While Starting,Select the OS Which you have to reset the password and press ‘e’ select the second line which is started with kernel key word and press ‘e’ to edit the current line.
3–> Append the line with rw init=/bin/bash and press ‘b’ to boot the system
4–> Then it will entered into the root terminal
5–> To list the available users use the command
#ls /home
6–>To set the new password
#passwd <user name>
7–>The main thing is you have to set the password with only one character. After you are entered into the x session then you can change the password whatever you want.(The typing characters should not be displayed)
8–> Reboot the system
Enjoy….
If you are Fedora Distro user
The above steps are same except the step3. Instead of using rw init=/bin/bash just put 1
“Here no restrictions like invisible of the characters and the password length should be one character”
keep Rocking…
