How do i reset backtrack 5 to factory defauts

ok ive haf backtrack 5 for alittle bit now and im having a major issue, i forgot my password and its not the default toor password, is there any way to reset my backtrack 5 to defaults (sort of like on windows f10 to reset to factory defaults) and if not how can i change/recover it?

If you need to know, i run gnome 64 bit(yes im sure i can run a 64 bit) and i have an HP computer (terrabyte).

you need to google linux password recovery, or reinstall.

If you can access the konsole, you can type:

Code:

---

passwd

Would this not require him to know his password?

isn't it just changing the root password?

Man...

Reading this forum today has angered me beyond belief. What happened to the days when this forum was used to provide knowledge and excellence? We might as well rename it to the BabySitter Forums...

Either way.

Why dont you chroot via a live usb and passwd from there....
