There is something I would like you to understand in advance.
I've just started learning PC and programming, and I'm probably like a baby when it comes to IT.
I would like to solve the problem with my poor writing and my poor knowledge.
I would appreciate it if you could help me if this catches my eye and you can understand what I'm saying and how to solve it.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Windows 10
WSL
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I was thinking of downloading Ubuntu in Windows 10 and using it to build a virtual environment such as Vscode, but when I tried to use Ubuntu for the first time in a while, I forgot my password and couldn't use it.
How to reset the password in the root shell by pressing ESC and shift keys on the reboot screen
→ Press ESC and shift keys but the screen does not change
I tried the above solutions and looked for other possible solutions, but I couldn't.
Open Ubuntu from the command prompt to become the root user and force a password change
I could probably change the password without using the password, but it didn't work because I had to have a username to do so and forgot the username.

Please let me know if there is any other solution besides the above.
I don't know the solution, but I'd appreciate it if you could point out that your knowledge is off and wrong.Thank you in advance.
Open a command prompt and change the default user to root.
>ubuntu config -- default-user root
After the above configuration changes, please open the Ubuntu window to see if you can log in as the root user.
In Ubuntu (Linux), account information is recorded in /etc/passwd
, so check this to see which username you have in mind.
>cat/etc/passwd
Once the username has been verified, set the new password with the passwd
command.
Specify the username you want to change following the passwd command.
#passwd USER
Once the password is set, restore the default user at the command prompt.
>ubuntu config -- default-user USER
