As the title says I lost my admin password and am locked out, I've read through this thread https://trisquel.info/en/forum/locked-out-admin-log

Since I bought this computer with trisquel installed on it as well as libreboot I'm not sure if the same process in the posts mentioned above is way to go. I tried creating the live USB through startup disk creator while logged in as guest but get a error message no permissions to erase disk and the make disk button is not active. It could be the USB stick I used, I was able to format it but it has a partition I couldn't erase so will try a new USB stick and see if it works.

I don't have any data saved under admin so if there is a easier way to reset this thing I don't care if that admin account is lost. I just want to make sure I don't mess up how its configured with libreboot and I am pretty new to Linux which is why I get this system preconfigured.

Any help is appreciated, I need this thing to work so I can work ; )
