Locate the text snippet ro quiet splash (or just ro).
Replace ro with rw and append init=/bin/bash to the end of the line. The end of your line should look exactly like this:

    rw quiet splash init=/bin/bash

    Press F10 to boot with these temporary settings. 


Reset Your Password
The system will bypass the usual login screen and drop you directly into a root command prompt terminal (indicated by #). 
Ensure the system partition is writeable by running:

    mount -n -o remount,rw /

If you do not remember your exact system username, view it by typing:

    ls /home

Type the password reset command followed by your account username:

    passwd username


Enter your new password twice when prompted. Note: The text will not appear on the screen
