If you can log in as yourself, and you have admin (sudo) rights, run in Terminal: sudo passwd username It should ask for a new password for that user. If you aren't a Terminal guy, the same can be done via System->Administration->Users and Groups. Select the user that can't log in and click "Properties". You can set a new password there. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
