Question #53948 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/53948

igneousquill proposed the following answer:
First, notify the store you bought it from of what happened.  It might
be easier to just direct them to this thread.

Second, once the store is aware of what happened, get (or burn) a fresh
Ubuntu live CD of your own and do a complete new installation.  With
Ubuntu a new installation incredibly easy and should take you no more
than 15 minutes from start to finish.  Of course, be sure to back up any
of your personal files to a USB drive beforehand.
