How to Hack Password of Linux OS

Linux is an operating system which is quickly gaining popularity in mainstream, but not so common that you’re likely to come across it. Though Mac and Linux are both based on Unix, it is easier to change the password in Linux than it is in Mac OS X.

1. To change the password, turn on the computer and press the ESC key when GRUB appears. 
2. Scroll down and highlight ‘Recovery Mode’ and press the ‘B’ key; this will cause you to enter ‘Single User Mode’.
3. You’re now at the prompt, and logged in as ‘root’ by default. Type ‘passwd’ and then choose a new password.This will change the root password to whatever you enter. 
4. If you’re interested in only gaining access to a single account on the system, however, then type ‘passwd username’ replacing ‘username’ with the login name for the account you would like to alter the password for.

Note: This will work if and only if GRUB itself is not protected with password.
