recovery of root password, installed in VM
Asked by
sridhar k
Hi,
I installed Ubuntu on Oracle VM virtual box a few months ago. I forgot my root password for Ubuntu and I am unable to login now.
Can you let me know how do I recover my root password.
While the VM was loading, I tried pressing F12/Shift/Esc keys, but I couldn't go to shell prompt from where I could reset it.
Could you let me know the sequence of steps.
Thanks,
Sridhar
