    BLocked Root

    I was messing around in the profile section.
    Decided to make my password not work at 18:53 (the time then was 18:52)
    Logged out (Time then was 18:52)
    Attempted to log in (Time then was 18:53)
    I was then not able to log in under my username (that was root) and with only one other username entitled "guest" i have 2 options...

    1. Say Kubuntu is stupid for allowing me to block the root account.
    2. Ask for help here.

    So im going to ask how i can allow my password to work on my root account. I can get to the root terminal from start up (grub). I just need to know what scripts to edit (using nano) and what commands to use.

      Maybe this will help:

      You realize when you use root as your log in that you've done half the job for the script kiddies out there - yes? Root is the first name they try on a brute force attack.
