I've managed to get myself into a bit of a pickle and would appreciate any help.
I have a non-Windows machine with two separate hard drives. Ubuntu is on one and Kubuntu on the other, They are both partitioned with home directories on a separate partition. There is an additional user on each distro. On Friday a problem arose with the Kubuntu distribution which I couldn't resolve myself, so I decided to install v. 8.04.01, especially as it now included KDE 4. All seemed to be OK until I tried to boot up Ubuntu which stalled and needed a CTRL-D to get to the desktop. Not to worry, I thought, I'll reinstall with 8.04.1 which proceeded normally. However, when the other user tried to log in, Ubuntu would not accept the password. I googled extensively but the only remedy I could find was to recover my own password, which was not applicable here and didn't help recover, or change, the password in question. I even tried to "re-add" the second user but Ubuntu told me that the user already existed, etc. So I'm stumped and if anyone can help me resolve the problem, I shall be very pleased. Cheers, Keith. --- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffs, England.
