Don,

Did that work for you?  If not, you may want to know that one way to find the username
of your first account is by:

   $ grep :1000: /etc/passwd

You should get back something like:

   kadmin:x:1000:1000:kadmin,,,:/home/kadmin:/bin/bash

The first colon-delimited field is your username.  You can take the human-processing out
of it by:

   $ grep :1000: /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1

That will give you something like:

   kadmin

Then you might use a command like this to reset the password:

   $ sudo passwd kadmin

or:

   # passwd kadmin

P.S. Your leet-speak-esque posts are uniquely difficult to read and comprehend.
