I upgraded my Ubuntu to 9.04. Now when I start up my computer it asks for a username and password, and won't let me advance. It doesn't accept the password I used to modify my system.

How can I override this or find out what my password is? Before I upgraded I never had to enter a username or password.

It is against the forum policy to explain how to command a new user name and password but this link will take you to a site that will show you how to fix your system. Psychocats are great helpers!

Some peopleprefer not to have to sign in every time but during updates the settings may reset back to the more secure mode, so it is sometimes best to just keep signing in every time.
