Reset Forgotten Root Password In Ubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
This brief guide explains how to reset sudo password in Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 LTS desktop and server editions from rescue mode.
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
When **[installing Ubuntu][1]**, a new user will be created with sudo privileges to perform all sorts of administrative tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
If your Ubuntu system have multiple sudo users, you can easily reset the forgotten password of a sudo user or administrative user from another sudo user's account.
|
||||
|
||||
What If you have only one sudo user and you lost the password? No problem! It is very easy to recover forgotten sudo user password in Ubuntu from the **"rescue"** or **"single user"** mode.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide has been officially tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 LTS editions, however the steps given below are same for other Ubuntu versions and derivatives.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reset Sudo Password In Ubuntu 22.04 / 20.04 LTS
|
||||
|
||||
First, boot your Ubuntu system into rescue mode to reset a sudo user's password as described in the link below.
|
||||
|
||||
> [How To Boot Into Rescue Mode Or Emergency Mode In Ubuntu 22.04 / 20.04 / 18.04][2]
|
||||
|
||||
After you entered into the rescue mode, mount the root (**/**) file system in read/write mode by running the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# mount -n -o remount,rw /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, reset the sudo user's password using **"passwd"** command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# passwd ostechnix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here, **"ostechnix"** is the sudo user. Replace it with your own user name.
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the password twice:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
New password:
|
||||
Retype new password:
|
||||
passwd: password updated successfully
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
That's it. We have reset the sudo user password. If you have followed the **Method 1** to enter into rescue mode as described in the above link, press **“Ctrl+d”** to boot into normal mode. Alternatively, you can type any one of the following commands to boot into normal mode.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# systemctl default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or,
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to reboot the system instead of booting into normal mode, enter:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# systemctl reboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you have followed the **Method 2** to enter into rescue mode as described in the above link, type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will go back to the recovery menu. Choose "**Resume normal boot**" and hit ENTER key.
|
||||
|
||||
![Boot Into Normal Mode In Ubuntu][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Again, choose OK and press ENTER to continue booting into normal mode:
|
||||
|
||||
![Exit Recovery Mode And Boot Into Normal Mode][5]
|
||||
|
||||
You can now use the new sudo password when running administrative commands.
|
||||
|
||||
##### What If I Forgot Both Username And Password?
|
||||
|
||||
If you forget the username, you can easily list the available users in your Linux system from the rescue mode using command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# cat etc/passwd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Sample output from my Ubuntu 22.04 system:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
ostechnix:x:1000:1000:Ostechnix,,,:/home/ostechnix:/bin/bash
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Well, you now have the user name. Just follow the aforementioned steps to reset the user's password.
