ubuntu help
on: March 27, 2006, 18:37:19 PM
Ok,
I have two HDDs in my rig, One has Windows on and the other has ubuntu.

I havent used ubuntu for months so I gave it a go today.
But I have forgotten my username and password.

is there anyway of getting them?
Just the username would do as I could try every password I use on it.

any Ideas.

cheers Dave

Download the non installer version and run it from its folder.
You cant update the version thats on there.
