| qwebirc51177 | After my last update the login password screen appeared. I never set it up to need a log in password and my SUDO password doesn't work. Do I have to reload the system or is there a way around it? Everything I've read say it is very hard to crack the log in. | 00:35 |

| tgm4883 | qwebirc51177: you don't have to reload | 00:57 |
| tgm4883 | and I'm not sure what you were reading, but if you have physical access to the box, it's pretty easy | 00:57 |
| tgm4883 | unless of course you encrypted your disk | 00:58 |
| qwebirc51177 | I haven't tried booting from usb because I wouldn't know where to look to remove the log in screen | 01:03 |
| qwebirc51177 | it's 32 bit machine | 01:04 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc51177: during boot up you should be able to select recovery mode in grub | 01:09 |
| tgm4883 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 01:10 |
| tgm4883 | the standard way should work | 01:10 |
| qwebirc51177 | Thanks Tom I'll give it a try. This NUBE is learning some everyday, Don't know how I missed this in Wiki | 01:24 |
