Hi,
I have found and old Linux Mint box I was trying to learn Linux on a couple of years ago and now want to update it from 18 to 19.2
I can get into the Desktop but when I want to Update or do anything it asks for an Authentication pwd and I have tried every password I thought I would have used but none work.
I rebooted with shift to get to Grub then Esc then e but couldn't see where and what to change.
Any help please. I have a DVD of 19.2 which I guess I could just boot to and go over the previous but it seems a little unsophisticated way to do it.
Any help appreciated.
