Remove 2.8 and dual boot 3.4 with Ubuntu

[gold_finger]

Tried both reset password programs..The only difference is one spells passwd and the other spells password

If link to LL help manual posted by firenice03 is the "program" you were referring to a few posts back, I just had a look at it and it is the exact same procedure for resetting password as my tutorial on Mint forums.  Both use command passwd, not password -- so don't know where you saw that.  (If firenice03's link is not what you were referring to, please post a link to program you found and are talking about.)


In any case, that procedure should have worked to reset your password.  Try again, but this time for test purposes, reset to a simple password (eg. something using only letters and numbers, no special characters or spaces) and see if that works.


Question:  is the password you're using in Ubuntu the same as one you're trying to setup in LL?  If not, try setting LL password to same one you're using in Ubuntu.
