So I just bought a used Sony vaio with the ubuntu operating system. I disabled my admit account thinking that when I powered up it would just go to the home screen. Now I can't log in. It recognizes my user name but not the password. How can I get passed the log in screen?

In addition, this user went to great lengths to explain some caveats.

How do I reset a lost administrative password?

(Sorry to paste links rather than copy/paste the solution, but these are both from official help wikis, so I find them appropriate for this instance.)

Again, if this helps, please mark this question as answered.
