[ubuntu-uk] 8.04 username and password problem, repeat request

[mike daniels]

Thanks Sean, but my Ubuntu 8.05 does no accept my user name or password. Is there an alternative to reloading Ubuntu 8.04 please. This is the second problem I have had with 8.04, the first was loss of the disply brightness control using the up/down cursor keys, solved with an easy patch, then the rejection of user name and password manifested itself, each problem appearing after a switch-off.
Is there some way of resetting username and password please, other than an o/s reload.
Apologies if I have missed something. Thanks, Michael.
