Really hope someone can help me out here? After installing AntiX-M8.2 onto the hard drive i give the computer (as a Christmas present) to my nephew and he has gone and lost the passwords! So does anyone know if it is possible to recover lost passwords please? Thanks

At grub's menu select antix's line and press 'e' to edit it. Go to the kernel line and add 'single' at the end of it. Then press 'b' to boot. This will boot in console mode as root.
Then just type to reset the password for root.

To reset the password for the normal user just type , changing 'username' for the actual user name.
