I began my Ubuntu use with Edgy Eft oh that's 6.10 which I quickly upgraded to 7.04 Feisty Fawn.
I am using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat.
I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do
so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it.
I've been running the current session for more days than I should have.
I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my
system now?
It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to
how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to
do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key
or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait
until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using
Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub.
The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes
you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a
terminal access where you can issue commands.
Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the
filesyste
