@Kulfy if it's a dupe of something else, I can edit the banner without reopening it... but that's not really a command line question so perhaps it would be an abuse of powers haha
Unfortunately I am unable to create an administrator or any other user account, as I have no password from the first installation of Ubuntu in my new laptop. I'm only logging in via guest account.
How can I get a working admin account?
@Zanna indeed. I think after resetting only Guest session is there. No other account is available. And he might want to create a new account. But I believe this can't be done through Guest session only. I believe it should be opened.
@Zanna Yeah I do. But in my opinion it still needs more information like how he did a factory reset, what kind of fatal error that was. I think it should remain closed until OP adds more info.
@Zanna I think that question can be marked as duplicate of this askubuntu.com/questions/70236. But he needs to login into recovery mode to perform the steps.
I unexpectedly deleted my user account (the only administrator for the machine). I have another account which is a standard account and now I can't access my hard disk or anything with that standard account - it is asking for the root password. Is there any way I can recover access to the adminis...
@Kulfy I already voted so I can't vote again, but since you added the tag probably the review will end early because a few of the regular reviewers have command-line gold badges
Actually all the questions revolve around a same error. The one which has been asked today got a answer. So I believe it's better to mark all of them as duplicate since most of them has no answer.
I made that question more generalized. Although I earlier commented link of Stack Overflow of the identical question which I deleted later on. OP fixed after reading that question but haven't given any reference/credit. This looks odd to me.
@Zanna May be some corruption in pip. I've never experienced such problem
I retracted 2 votes from those questions. One because Karel pinged and one because I found inappropriate later on. Nevertheless I believe I still found 6 duplicates ;-)
