    Question Lost password/user name

    Hi,

    I have lost my password and user name for my installation of Fedora 8, i do not need to get it running again as i am preparing the pc for sale but i have several gigs of photos on there and i would like to rescue them if possible, i thought i might be able to do it with a live cd and copy the files on to a usb stick but wanted to ask first as i am a real amateur ie i never managed to understand how every thing works really.

    It is in duel boot with win xp sp3 and i could not get to the photos from there. Please keep it simple.

    Thankyou for reading nick

    Yes, you can use a LiveCd to do this quiet easily. Just boot it up and browse to the correct directory and start copying.
