    Reset password?

    I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop machine [been using it on the laptop for a year] and now can't get in to do setup for internet.
    I don't remember it asking for a password when installing, but it wants one now...
    Reinstall or is there another`way?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    The password it wants is the password of the first user set up during install.
