Thank you Jim:)

I followed the CD/DVD recovery mode, which works:) After boot from the installation medium:
(1)choose Rescue system;
(2)Login as “root”;
(3)mkdir /tempAccount
(4)mount /dev/sda2/ /tempAccount
(5)cd /tempAccount
(6)chroot /tempAccount
(7)passwd

Then enter new password :slight_smile:
