Lost password [Solved]

[MXRobo]

@fehlix Thanks
@DukeComposed Well, strictly security-wise, maybe not as I might rather someone wipe my drive, than have have access to it,
but yes Duke - a very good and obvious point that I wasn't considering. I suppose that's where encryption comes in handy, and I do have a separate encrypted laptop and don't keep anything too sensitive on my daily driver.
Thanks all, don't want to hijack - over and out and glad Tovian got it solved.

IIRC, from wayback (before disk-on-key) nullifying password by booting a cd and editing /etc/passwd
