4. Press the key combination"Ctrl-X" or"F10" to perform the boot.
5. The boot will be completed and you will be able to enter commands, now you need to enter a command to mount the file system in read-write mode:
   mount -rw -o remount /
6. Next, enter the command to set a new user password:
   "passwd name_user", where name_user is your user name, and all problems will be solved.
