Ubuntu not accepting password
by fraber from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56S4C)
Hello,
I'm sure this has been covered so please point me in the right direction. I've installed Ubuntu alongside Windows. I can log on and use everything. All good there. But it won't accept my password when I go into settings. Also, I am trying to change my password via the recovery page method in case it is the password, when I get to typing the command to mount -rw o remount / there are no characters and it just keeps going to the next line after I hit enter as if nothing has happened.
Any help appreciated as I can't update anything like add a video player etc as my password is constantly rejected.
TIA.
