I just did a clean install of Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS on VMware machine. During the instalation process I was asked to type username and password and I did. But, I can't login with that user after installation. I'm pretty sure that username and password are correct. I did reinstalled it twice and same problem happens.

I've tried root, sageadmin (created during installation), admin. None of them are correct, it gives me "Login incorrect" message.

You can reset password and try...

  1. Reboot your computer
  2. Hold Shift during boot to start GRUB menu
  3. Highlight your image and press E to edit
  4. Find the line starting with "linux" and append rw init=/bin/bash at the end of that line
  5. Press Ctrl+X to boot.
  6. Type in passwd username
  7. Set your password.
  8. Type in reboot. If that doesn't work, hit Ctrl+Alt+Del
