Ubuntu set to log in automatically. Can I change lost password from there?
by antares4141 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4W7YD)
I do it every time, I set computer to log in automatically, write down password, but for some reason when I forget it, and try the wrote down password it doesn't work.
Regardless I am able to log in to Ubuntu automatically. Is there an easier way than the conventional methods of recovering passwords?
Seeing as I am able to log in automatically?
If I go to user settings and try it there I still need a password to change the password.
I think last time I tried the safe-mode route I ended up in frustration just re-installing linux.
Hoping to avoid this.
