When I set up Ubuntu on my HP Chromebook 14 again after breaking it, I forgot that the admin password had to be 4 digits and set it as 1 (the password was just 1) since I don't really need a password on it. Anyway, so it set it to some random 5 digit and I can't do anything with software center, so how do I get to recovery mode?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin.

Edit: Ignore the stuff about the password needing to be 5 digits, I'm stupid, it just shows that in the user details. Still, how do you access recovery mode?

Here is a good step-by-step to get into recovery mode:

then from the terminal, type in the following to change your password:

passwd username

where username is your username.
