I'd like to find someone who can help me work around a password protected Linux system. This is not nefarious, it's an emergency situation. A friend has gone missing in the Vantana Wilderness. There may be info on his Linux system that would help locate him. I know very little about Linux, but PC proficient. Help anyone?

You can always access the disk data - if not encrypted - with a so called "live" system.
Download a small Xubunto ISO and install it on a USB stick. There is a documentation from Ubuntu on how to create a "live medium"
Boot the device from the usb - stick, select "Try Xubuntu" and open a file explorer when the desktop appears. Select some "external" disk (because your local "disk" ist the usb stick) and head to the directory /home/????/ where ???? should be the user name of your friend.
