Ubuntu 20.04 reset root password step by step instructions





  1. 步骤一

    reboot into the GRUB menu

    The first step is to reboot into the GRUB menu. If Ubuntu 20.04 is the only operating system installed you need to keep pressing SHIFT for the GRUB menu to show up. Next, while your Ubuntu boot menu is highlighted press e to edit the Grub’s boot prompt.

  2. 步骤二

    ro   quiet splash $vt_handoff

    Using your navigational arrows locate the line containing the following string ro quiet splash $vt_handoff

  3. 步骤三

    rw init=/bin/bash

    Replace the string ro quiet splash $vt_handoff with the following text rw init=/bin/bash. Once you have made the change press F10 to initiate the regular boot sequence.

  4. 步骤四

    root's shell without a need to enter the root password

    After the successful boot you should be welcomed with a root’s shell without a need to enter the root password

  5. 步骤五

    root (/) partition is mounted as read and write

    Confirm that the root (/) partition is mounted as rw. To do so execute the mount | grep -w / command.

  6. 步骤六

    ready to reset the root password

    At this point we are ready to reset the root password. To do so simply execute the passwd command and follow the instructions. In case you need to reset your user password, simply execute the passwd followed by your username.

  7. 步骤七

    All what remains is to reboot your ubuntu 20.04 system

    All done. Your root password should be now recovered. All what remains is to reboot your Ubuntu 20.04 system. To do so execute the exec /sbin/init

Troubleshooting

Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged

Your root partition is mounted read-only. Try:

# mount -o remount,rw /

to resolve this issue.


[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exit code=0x0007f00

Make sure that you removed the splash boot option when editing the grub’s menu item.


When trying to reboot with the reboot command I get:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
Failed to talk to init daemon.

Ignore, and reboot with:

# exec /sbin/init
