I'm having difficulties resetting admin password on my Ubuntu 12.04 if the username has a space eg. Buggs Bunny? At the prompt it will only display Buggs and wont allow the password command to work

As far as I know, there is no way to have a username with a space, you are probably taking about the display name. Have a look of the real username from cat /etc/passwd.

  • yes thats true, my question would be how did you create a linux user with space in name.

    It's simply not possible, I'm pretty sure that Buggs Bunny is the display name and Buggs is the username. Change the password with passwd buggs should be enough.
