Using Cinnamon, lost password, how to recover ?

 

[Alexzee]

Are you running Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 or 20.3?

 

[arochester]

Cinnamon is the Desktop Environment. What distro are you using? What password have lost? User? Root? Is it a relatively new install, or an old one?

Welcome to the forums
Which password, admin or user

 

[kc1di]

Which Distro? as others have indicated we need more info to help.

How to recover? A search engine helps.

Hmm... The people who don't search before posting aren't the kind of people who read stickies, so I'm not sure how effective that'd be. Though we do only have one sticky in 'getting started'. So, it wouldn't really add much in the way of clutter.

Yeah . . . people will be people!
