Public bug reported:

I tried to reset the password as through Recovery Mode as described on following page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/user-forgottenpassword.html

The system accepted the new password but I could not login with it.

In the next attempt I remounted /
#mount -o remount /

then reset password
# passwd username

and it worked.

The Document needs to be revised advising to remount / as above.
