Unless they follow Nik's proceedure to reset it. It does exist, but is not known to the first user, so there rather effectively is not one as far as that first user who has sudo rights is concerned. > IMHO, the menu entry is fine as it is now since it will work as > expected for the majority of the users. Your idea of the word majority is miss-applied in the modern linux world. Root password usage is pretty well deprecated by most distro's today, using sudo instead, even in wheezy which is considered elderly these days. > Unconventional setups will > need special handling for this type of problem.
