Recover Forgotten Administrative Password (Authentication token manipulation error)
I forgot my administrative password, and I already tried going into recovery mode, where I selected the "Drop to root shell prompt." I did the method of typing: "passwd " but then I immediately get the "Authentication token manipulation error" "password unchanged." Since it didn't allow me to change it, I typed the command: "mount -rw -o remount /" and then tried again changing the password but the same "Authentication token manipulation error" "password unchanged" problem appeared. I don't know what else to try. Someone PLEASE HELP ME! Thank you very much in advanced.

A better line would be
Code:
mount -o remount,rw / 'touch /tmp/some_name' followed by 'ls /tmp' If all that fails, try booting with an install cd. |
Hi there business_kid. I tried both methods but didn't work. :/
Also, I cannot boot up with a CD because the laptop doesn't have a CD compartment. |
Try to use safe mode when rebooting your computer

I also tried that unsuccessfully kipa54.
