I'd suggest you interrupt the boot loader (grub? grub2?) and add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel options, then just boot on. You'll get a bash in root from where the first thing to do is "passwd". then just reboot the box and you can get root via "su" and the password.
Hm,
Do you mean: when the grub menu with kubuntu kubuntu-recovery WinXp
Pops up I put the cursor on the first hit e for edit get the menu and add a new line with init=/bin/bash
Then with Crt-x I boot?
Well this did not work.
I also tried to use kubuntu-recovery but there seemed to be a problem with my laptop keyboard. I hope when I retry on Monday with the desktop that this keyboard problem does not occur and I could use the kubuntu-recovery option.
