How to reset root password for Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.2.0.xx

Hi Guys,

i am trying to set up wifi networking…but apparently i am getting a root password authentication failure. i changed the password yesterday and now its not working…how can i reset the root user password?

Considering ubuntu by default doesn't have a root user... Have you
first tried the default user "ubuntu"?. Or is that the username
password you changed..

Either way append an "S" or "Single" to the end of the "bootargs"
variable in the uEnv.txt file on your boot partition..

Then change your password on next boot..

Hi Nelson,

yes but i managed to solve it by doing sudo su- which asked for the default ubuntu password and i manage to get to super user mode. Thanks once again for your help!
