[Bug 928289] Re: Reset Password using Live CD does not explain how to mount drive

 

** Description changed:

  I have Ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox and somehow wasn't able to get
  into recovery mode via Grub. So I tried to reset my password using the
- Live CD, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help
+ Live CD, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help
  /user-forgottenpassword.html#live-cd
  
  However, Step 2 "Mount Your Drive" is not explained and frankly I have
  no idea what to do. It would be great if you could spell it out in more
  detail.
  
  Thanks!
