On the grub boot screen type <code>e</code> for edit. Next edit the line starting with <code>linux</code>, at the end add <code>init=/bin/bash</code>. It should look like this.

<pre>

</pre>

Next hit <code>Ctrl-X</code> to boot, you should land on a prompt without having to type your password. Next enter the following two commands:
