Thanks for your help. I will check the links. I am definitely a newbie and am willing to try things out. It's a dual boot drive so wiping it would be okay.

How can I wipe the drive and reinstall 17.04? I have tried using the install CD during boot-up but it didn't work. Is there a hotkey/combo that will let me format the drive? Thanks for any help.

You shouldn't need to restore in order to reset the password. (You also
might want to think of upgrading).
Do any of the tips here help?
