installed the unbuntu distribution of Linux as a partition next to my osX … linux side is taking my password/username … osX isn’t … how can i retrieve my password?
DAMMIT I HAD A PRESENTATION TOMOROW! 
Re: help meeeeeeeeee
As default Ubuntu has no password set for the root user. To gain root access you have to type in your own user password. This is the password you set for the first user while installing Ubuntu.
To manually set a password for the root user, type in the following in the shell:
sudo passwd
After that you are asked to type in the new root password twice. Finally, your root user has its own password.

I don’t know what aaho said (
) but it seems like ur OS X must have gotten corrupted. How did you install Ubuntu on the Mac? Details would help.
Re: help meeeeeeeeee
^^ read aloud TB :D
she asked for the password solution to Ubuntu Linux
Though that can be another problem if she also meant that OS X is also corrupted.
Re: help meeeeeeeeee
