I don't know the user password how to find or change
Asked by
lynne gilham
Hi anyone who can help,
I have a second hand laptop which has ubuntu 10.10 maverick installed.
The person I purchased it from said they have never used an authentication password & don't know it.
Therefore I can't download flash or other things without this password.
I've tried all the recommended things I've seen on this site, but none work to change it.
Does anyone have any ideas please, I'm not that computer savvy, so plain words & easy to follow instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation, Lynne
