I purchased an old PC from someone and it runs Ubuntu. I don’t remember the username or password, but I need to access it so I can delete Ubuntu or set up a new account.

Press ESCAPE to start recovery, then choose "ubuntu recovery" from the bottom. Next, pick command line. Type the following: passwd USERNAME substitute with your actual username. If unsure, add a new user: adduser USERNAME with the desired name.
