I recently acquired a used computer that is running the Ubuntu operating system. There seems to be a newuser account that requires a password (I can web browse etc until the machine times out and goes to the newuser). I don't know this newuser password. I would either like to figure out the newuser password or create an account with a new password.
I can open up the console to do direct commands, but I am in the newuser prompt. It asks for a password everytime I try to do something.
Any suggestions?
