Lost Update Manager password

[Megan123]

Hi - I don't know the update manager password. How can I reset or remove it? I've got 35 updates waiting to be useful....

The update ma nager password should be hyour login password. so if you have it set to auto login and that is why you forgot it you can reset the password.

If your using Karmic it is the shift key rather then esc to stop at the grub boot GUI.
