Use this option if the fist user's password have been lost.
Do not do anything else during this session.
  1. Reboot
  2. Add "rw init=/bin/bash" to the boot line.
  3. To change password: "passwd <user name>".
  4. Reboot shutdown -r now
It is really bad luck if this doesn't work. In that case use the backup.
