What if I forgot the username and password for logging Ubuntu....

Don't panic.. It is easy to resolve this as I had this experience recently.

Press ESC when booting Ubuntu, select the recovery mode, and then select the root shell access.

Type ls /home to identify the username you need to access, then change its password by typing PASSWD username.

Now we are done, type reboot to enjoy your revival Cool
