username and password at installation
I am a relatively new Linux user. I used Kubuntu 11 with good results, but I didn't have a real good understanding of it. My computer is an HP Pavilion with an AMDA 64 processor.
I tried to upgrade to 12.04 from a mirror website. I understand that this maybe wasn't smart, but I did.
When I started up, the computer asked for a password which I had. Then the Kubuntu system started and asked for a username and a password. I had neither. I tried all my usual ones with no success.
I have read what others have said about this. It seems I need to get to the recovery mode, but when I try to get there at start up (f11 on this notebook) it always reverts to the computer password page and then carries me off to the username/password page.
Any thoughts about what to do?
