sorry, but when I type my password, it also says “sorry try again”
why does it not recognize my password.
I know nothing is supposed to be seen, but still, no I’m worried; won’t I ever get the chance to install something?

Hi Hazique,

Just try to type ur password without mistake ex: ur password id “enter” then only use five char’s exactly “enter”.
In terminal u can’t see anything typing over screen! Don’t worry… just type correct password!

Try it! – Cheers!

i typed the command sudo apt-get install thunderbird. it asked for password. but wen the password nothing gets written on screen. it feels as if the keyboard doesn’t works. when i hit enter a message gets displayed- sorry try again. i’m using ubuntu 10.10.

I have a program in windows7 that prevents me from logging into windows, so I am using ubuntu cd to log in.I would like to uninstall this program called ayrecovery but i don’t see how to from ubuntu.

If it’s not possible to uninstall it would it work to rename it just to log into windows then deal with the program?
