Now you’ll need to create a directory to mount the hard drive on.

Since we’re actually booting off the live cd, the directory doesn’t really get created anywhere.

sudo mkdir /media/sda1

The next command will mount the hard drive in the /media/sda1 folder.

Reset Your Ubuntu Password Easily from the Live CD

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1

Now it’s time for the command that actually does the magic: chroot.

Now you should be able to reboot your system and log yourself in with your new password.
