Linux password
I installed Mepis on my old computer to see how it performs but I forgot my passwords. I got it running again by reinstalling but wondered if there is
an easier way to get back in, not that I'll do it again  . (I've written it on the table next to the tower )
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

use a live CD. goto a terminal session type "passwd"
it will prompt you for a new root password.
once you have set the root, go into the user manager and reset all user passwords

Thanks, I'll write that on the table as well, just in case.
