If you forgot your password for your system, you can recover using the following steps:
1. Turn your computer on.
2. Press ESC at the grub prompt.
3. Press e for edit.
4. Highlight the line that begins kernel ………, press e
5. Go to the very end of the line, add rw init=/bin/bash
6. press enter, then press b to boot your system.
7. Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell. Type in passwd username
8. Set your password.
9. Type in reboot
Hope this helps, and good luck.
