recovery mode should only be used to fix your system if you've broken it:

# The user has forgotten their password and wants to reset it.
# The user has trashed their X config and wants to reconfig.
# The user has done a partial upgrade and their system isn't booting properly. They want to complete the upgrade.
# The user just wants a root shell prompt.
