I have the drivers for wireless in Ubuntu 12.0 for my Inspirion 1521, I set the password to "None" to be required whenever I start my computer. However now I cannot run the drivers without a password. Nor can I create one in the settings. How do I run the drivers if I Ubuntu no longer recognizes me as admin?

I guess you have to reset your account's password.

Reboot your computer and in the Grub menu, choose recovery mode. In the recovery menu choose root shell.

Remount the partition as read/write with: mount -rw -o remount /

Now you can reset your password with: passwd username. change username with the name for your account.

Reboot your computer and you're done.
