Hello,


I just got this linux computer. It was used. I don't know the password to get control of this computer. How do I get control of it so I can update it. It won't let me do anything on it, even print. Any idea's would be good.

Dear Porkchops

We are terribly sorry but Kioskea cannot help you to recover your lost password, because you can't prove that you are the legitimate owner. . Everyday computers are stolen, although you may be honest, we do not wish to help potential criminals.

The reasons are explained in this link:

You must ask Mr. Goodwill for the password.

Best regards
