I am not able to reset my ubuntu adminstrative password
I've tried to reset my ubuntu password which I've completely forgotten.
I've followed the same instruction as you have explained in one of your thread.
But the problem is that when I just go to recovery mode and then go to root option.
I'm asked directly to enter root password and I could not type "mount -n -o rw/" command.
It asks me to enter the password directly.

@steeldriver I also voted to reopen Reset root password for Ubuntu 16.04 - recovery mode asks for root password because it's a unique question, not a duplicate of what it was closed for being a duplicate of.
