Another alternative to external boot (works up to Trisquel v8): 1. Hold [Shift] key when booting computer (don't wait anything appears on screen) 2. You will be presented with a black screen titled "GNU GRUB" 3. With keyboard arrows, select "Advanced options for Trisquel GNU/Linux" and press ENTER. 4. Select "Trisquel GNU... (recovery mode)" and press ENTER 5. After many boot messages, you will be presented with a blue screen 6. Use keyboard arrows to select "network" option and press ENTER (this will enable write capabilities to system volume) 7. In same menu/screen select "root" option and press ENTER
Let's assume user accounts are called "wife" and "husband". Type in this, to reset "husband" password: passwd husband +ENTER After this, you can type in the "reboot" command and you will be entirely happy.
