[SOLVED] Locked out of start up?

I went to start up one of my Zorin towers tonight and it will not accept the same password I logged in with previous, and it appears that my username is changed? How do I re-set my password and username on Zorin 17 please?

First time I hear Zorin Seems to be a Linux. I'm familiar with Debian based but I assume it is similar.

If you can not login in the graphical start screen after booting, you might not remember your password.

At the off chance that your login screen is borked, try pressing CRTL + ALT + F1 or F2 or F3 to get to a terminal. There, enter your username and password. If that doesn't work, you will have to boot a live usb and chroot to reset your password.

1) create a live usb stick (ubuntu should do)
2) boot it and mount your root disk
3) chroot to the root disk
4) use `passwd username`
5) close the chroot, umount the root disk, reboot

This should fix the issue.

It was user error I discovered. I have recovered the correct password.

I will save the remedy though you sent me for any future problems.

Very grateful.
