About that link that you provided to help in resetting the Ubuntu password on the Parallela.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/re ... e-live-cd/I believe it works, but do not forget that the password that needs to be reset is not on a desktop hard drive, but on the micro-SD card that
needs to be plugged into a USB(with all of the appropriate attachments used) port on the side of the computer (a laptop in my case).
My laptop has Windows 7 installed on its hard drive, so I am not even going there.
We are not resetting the password on the desktop's hard drive. So the following command must be altered.
Thus
sudo fdisk -1
must be modified since that tells you the device name of the hard drive and we want the device name
that the micro-SD card is using.
So how do I modify the above command?
I assume that the next step which is
sudo mkdir /media/sda1
is unchanged since we are just creating a directory to mount the micro-SD card on.
The following command :
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
must have in the first term "/dev/sda1 " changed whatever the device name the micro-SD card is using.
The next command
sudo chroot /media/sda1
is unchanged. Then we can change the password using the passwd command
I am not sure what the line:
Note that you'll have to type your username after the password command in order to change the right password.
means. It seems the included example does not show that.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
