What password are you trying to recover... root, or user?

What distro are you running?

[casedawg13]

Distro is like redhat, mandrake, fedora etc.

distro = distribution, as in Linux distribution

Here's a HowTo for resetting the root password:

Note that this howto is written for a distro that is installed to the hard drive.

If you are using a liveCD, let us know which one and we might be able to help with that.

i'm not using a live cd i'm using the ubuntu version of linux though

Ubuntu uses sudo rather than root access, so root password won't matter. You should have set a user password during the Ubuntu installation.

When you go to enter a command, it should look like this:

sudo command-name

After pressing ENTER, you enter your user password when requested.
