something along these lines

load a livecd then in a terminal:
mkdir /mnt/kubuntu
mount /dev/yourrootdevice /mnt/kubuntu
chroot /mnt/kubuntu
passwd -u yourusername (or just passwd if it's the root used you want)
follow the prompts

I am stuck as I seem to have forgotten my password for Kubuntu.
What do I do? Do I delete Kubuntu and load it from scratch with a

Advice most welcome ;-)
