          Apart from the solution that was pointed out in the comment, I have another way to do the same thing. It is a modification to one of the solution in the How do I reset a lost administrative password?



          1. Power on your computer

          2. Press ESC on the GRUB prompt.

          3. Press e to edit.

          4. Move your cursor by pressing Down Arrow to kernel... or linux..., then press End

          5. Put a space at the end of the line and add the word single

          6. Press F10 and it will boot to the single user mode

          7. You will be logged into root now, without asking for a password.

          8. Use the command passwd <username> and provide the password of your choice.

          9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot

          This will take you to normal OS boot and you can login to your user with the chosen password.

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu.
