I'm stuck in mess. I recently blanked my administrative password. When I try to do anything that requires a password, I don't have one. Also installing software from the networking bash console(to get something to fix the problem) in Recovery Mode is not a option because apt is a mess and I never bothered to install aptitude. Changing the password from Ubuntu is not an option because it requires a password, and from recovery mode(using the passwd command) is doesn't detect my user account. Is there a ISO you can get for changing the Password? Help!

Try booting with a knoppix live CD and chrooting into your system. You should be able to change the password from there.
