Hi,

I have a ubuntu 8.4 server with CCcam all runs good.

I always login firtst username & password and then as ROOT

today the first try I misstyped the password

Second try I all type good but says ''login incorrect''

If i login as ROOT direct it oke.

But what is problem? I personally think the first time that I misstype the password it has blown up.

Maybe somebody had this also and make me 100% ?

Thanks

try this

Boot into recovery mode (from the Grub prompt at the very start of booting), and then run "passwd <yourusername>". That should set your password to something new.

If i turn on my server.

When do I come to recovery mode ?

Must i tick in ESC or somethin else?

If you forgot you password for your ubuntu system you can recover using the following steps

Turn your computer on.

Press ESC at the grub prompt.

Press e for edit.

Highlight the line that begins kernel ………, press e

Go to the very end of the line, add rw init=/bin/bash

press enter, then press b to boot your system.

Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.

Type in passwd username

Set your password.

Type in reboot

you can find a lot in google.

I know how to change.

I know my username and password I dont have forgot.

But yesterday I have mistyped my password.

And thats maybe the reason that it says always LOGIN INCORRECT.

But know I login direct as ROOT.
