I hope you dont want this information to break into other's system. :)
If that is your system, you might have access to it during boot process.
1) On the Grub menu prompt, select the entry you are booting and type 'e'.
2) Add the letter '1' or 's' to the kernel parameter. (In entry with
kernel ......, type 'e').
3) Type enter and press 'b'.
4) Linux boots and leaves you to the shell. type 'passwd'.
5) Enter the new password and enjoy.
