#

you have to boot live ISO, reach desktop, then properly CHROOT into the installed system. then u can tweak the password

#

good luck.

see #1351963021819514930 message the web guide and what I wrote after it.

#

once you're chrooted into the soul of the install, then google how to change linux password from CLI
