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

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.
