How to bypass the sudo password in *buntu?
by DARKBOW923 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59KCP)
Hello all.
I study in a place where we don't have access to sudo, i yesterday i talked with the sys admin of my college, and he tells me i can bypass (or recover) the user password (or even sudo) via a live CD and reading Code:etc/shadow or even Code:/etc/password.
I tried it but it doesn't work, any idea of how to see the sudo (or user) password?
Just for clear this: i don't want to pass my college pc password, its just for personal use and work.
Thanks in advance!
