Linux doesn't like it when people walk away to take a lunch break ;-)
When you reinstall OS, it will overwrite the password if you do not go
through an upgrade process in most cases. In some instances the process
asks you for the password.

In order to change or delete a password you need to be root. Boot from
the CD (or USB), start a shell, Alt-F2 usually works and mount root
partition from the hard drive
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
edit mnt/etc/shadow
where you remove the encrypted password, that is a part between the
first and second :
for example, I would remove
raffi:$6$K5NiVDGjA104YTX81:15942:0:99999:7:::
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to delete my password.
save that file and
umount /mnt
and reboot. You will have no password for that user after reboot. You
may enter new password from the command line
passwd
