If you can't remember your linux admin password, boot to single user mode.
That means you will be logged in as root, then just reset the password to
whatever you want (using passwd). When you're booting up either select
the single user mode or recovery mode (depending on distro) or select edit
boot command and change it to include 'single' (google is your friend).

I would like to restore the mbr but for the life of me I can't remember the
admin password. Though
I know all the user passwords. Debian works,
So if I can copy an mbr to the boot via a repair cd / dvd, recommend one. It
would be much appreciated.
