I downloaded Ubuntu 13.4 and I can only sign in as guest. I entered the User and Password I originally chose and nothing works. I can't do anything because I don't know the root password either. I run Ubuntu as well as Windows 7 Home Premium on my compaq. I'm brand new to Ubuntu and not too smart when it comes to coding. Please help if you can. And I'm not able to access the internet due to the fact I don't have the root password!
I'm working on a Ubuntu system, and my client has completely forgotten his administrative password. He doesn't even remember entering one; however it is there.  I've tried the suggestions on the website, and I have been unsuccessful in deleting the password so that I can download applets required for running some files. Is there a solution?

I've managed to get it down to 3/4 health, but keep running out of potions and getting owned.  I tend to whittle it down with bow from cover, then hit it with akimbo Lightning Strike which is awesome btw. Then poison and some sword.  I can't see a way to achieve this without having about 1000 points of stamina to run away from it when it does a swooping breath attack which seems to track you no matter what way you go.  Any advice please? This is for fighting them out in the open, "wild dragons" if you will. I have been reading Men With Brooms for a few days. I read a sentence which did not make any sense to me, so I landed here to get some help on it. I have pasted the sentence from the novel. Please go through it and let me know your valuable feedback on it.  An excerpt from the novel (Men With Brooms: A Sweeping Epic, paperback 2002, a novelization by Diane Baker Mason):     Gordon was about to walk away from the Impala when he saw it stop and his son get out. So it was real the boy had come.   As per my opinion it should have been:     Gordon was about to walk away from the Impala when he saw it stopped and his son got out. So it was real the boy had come.   I have two questions here:   Why did the writer use stop and get instead of stopped and got? As she is telling us a story which happened in the past. Let's say the writer is telling us her mind's situation and she used the present tense for it but why did she use stop and get instead of stops and gets? Title of a book telling about people teleported to a hostile planet while in deep meditation I read it sometime in the 90's but it seemed at least 15 years old at that time. The title might be containing something with 'wolves' or 'wilderness'.  Alert - Spoilers below      The book tells of some (I think) earth cult that dictates the practice of meditation. This cult is somewhat of a scam as When reaching the top level of meditation the meditator is either teleported or his consciousness abducted (I can't remember..) to be used as a calculation machine by the abductors.   Any references would be greatly appreciated. How to transfer between International T2 to Domestic 1B terminals in Mumbai? I will be arriving in Mumbai Terminal T2 on a Turkish Airlines international flight. I have a separately-purchased IndiGo ticket 5 hours later from Terminal 1B (Domestic). In the past I heard of a free bus to transfer.    Is that still the case and if not how do I get to Terminal 1B from Terminal 2? What's the difference between the following sentences?      (a) I wish they wouldn't make so much noise.   (b) I wish they were not making so much noise.    (c) I wish they did not make so much noise.   I'd appreciate your help. Calculate relative time in C# Given a specific DateTime value, how do I display relative time, like:   2 hours ago 3 days ago a month ago Does either pill actually do anything? When Morpheus offers the pill choice to Neo, they are still in the Matrix. That leads me to belive that none of the pills are real thus having no particular effect in the real world. Was it some sort of placebo effect that freed Neo from the Matrix or do the pills have an actual effect? Upper bound on the number of charts needed to cover a topological manifold If $M^n$ is a compact topological manifold (not necessarily with additional structure), is there an upper bound on the number of charts needed to cover $M$ ? Does this bound depend on the dimension of $M$ ?  Thanks in advance...  Cheers Strange issue with the right side margin I'm using biblatex for my references.  Normally, if I use \cite{source1, source2, source3}, I get a citation like  [3, 45, 98]   If I now want to give a page number for one of them, it looks confusing imho, as I should get (did not try it out up to now, honestly)   [3, 45, 78, p. 23f, 98]   So imho it would make sense to change one of the separator from a comma to e. g. a semicolon like:  [3; 45; 78, p. 23f; 98]   Question 1: Does that make sense, or are there other conventions for citing sources with and without page numbers together?  (Up to now I collected the citations without page number in one cite command and added singular \cite[][p. xy]{} commands for those with page numbers., so I'd get:   [3, 45, 98][78, p. 23f]   )  the \cites[]{}[]{}[]{} could also do that, but it also uses the same separators for entries and postnotes.  Question 2: How could I change the separator globally for those number-citations from comma to semicolon in biblatex? \documentclass{article} \usepackage[style=authoryear-icomp,maxbibnames=9,maxcitenames=2,backend=biber]{biblatex} \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib} @misc{ABC01,   author = {Author, A. and Buthor, B. and C},   year = {2001},   title = {Alpha}, } \end{filecontents} \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} \begin{document}  According to \textcite{ABC01}, parallel...  \printbibliography \end{document}   Outcome:  According to Author et al.

For a couple months now I'll be using my laptop when suddenly the screen dims to about 50% of normal. According to the brightness indicator the brightness is all the way up; I can make it dimmer, but not as bright as normal. The dimming isn't super even either, there are small areas of the screen that seem darker/brighter. In the past the problem easily goes away if I close the lid and reopen it... but now it's happening a lot and sometimes going completely black. Is this an easy/cheap fix? I'm traveling and can't do it myself. Is it worth bringing to the Mac store?  Thanks! What is a Superblock, Inode, Dentry and a File? From the article  by M. Tim Jones, I read that Linux views all the file systems from the perspective of a common set of objects and these objects are superblock, inode, dentry and file. Even though the rest of the paragraph explains the above, I was not that comfortable with that explanation. Could somebody explain to me these terms? I have seen a "Universal Laptop Adapter" sold in a computer shop before. I am thinking of getting one for a laptop. Is it safe to use?

Since, my Mac (13", MBPro mid-2014) doesn't boot.
