Hi Frank,
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are fully recovered now.
So, you mean you forgot your ubuntu logon password?
I think we can workaround that by using the recovery mode.
When booting, press Esc on the boot prompt, it will then give the boot menu.
Choose the recovery.
I believe from there we will be automatically logon, and we can use command: id
Then we can change the password: sudo passwd
HTH
