By booting a LiveCD and use the Gparted utility to format you're drive.
Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

It already is dual booting off windows and xubuntu. Will i need to format the whole drive or just its partition?
I am doing this because I forgot the username and password and I have no idea on how to recover or change them. I saw a few command line ideas, but they were for ubuntu and didn't work!
Please help! I would rather just change the login info...

the only difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu is the desktop environment
i think you might be able to boot into recovery mode and add a new user, but idk
how about u search for some info on it im sure theres heaps

When you boot up your computer there should be an option called "recovery boot". Press down on the keyboard and then enter when you are highlighted on it.Originally Posted by brandon826
After some messages fly by (ignore them), you should be left with a black screen (you may be asked what you want to do, if so, select 'root prompt').
Type this:
you should then see your username and an entry for 'root'. now typeCode:cat /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash
replacing username with the username you found from above (not 'root').Code:passwd username
You should then be prompted to enter a new password. After you have entered and confirmed one, type:
to reboot. when you reboot, select the normal boot option and log in with your new passwordCode:shutdown -r now.
