Linux Ubuntu 6 Login Workaround needed.
Discovered past IT Admin setup Ubuntu 6 on VMWare virtual box. It was setup to boot to command line login but they left no record of usename/password. I'd rather just reformat/reinstall a newer version, but, there is a working website and database that we cannot lose or backup. I need advice on how to get into this "guest" vm box and ubuntu os. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

Oh missed a part... what to do after your change your pass.
Since the box is already "down" at this point, I suggest just another reboot to make sure everything is nice and clean.

Answer provided a direction to go in but not the solution.
Either way there is some setting someplace that will allow you to extend that window so you can actually type :)
