There are many ways you can proceed. First, you can make the bootloader
start Ubuntu using:
linux single
...
passwd $youruser
which means single-user mode. You can also do:
linux init=/bin/sh
...
mount -o remount,rw /
passwd $youruser
or you can mount the Ubuntu partition from one of your other installed
distributions, find the password hash in '/etc/shadow' and delete it.
