title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode)That text is part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst of my Ubuntu Linux, so first go to the easiest way to recover the password in Ubuntu.
uuid 393ac665-f5c2-488d-b601-b59ba1d5675b
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=393ac665-f5c2-488d-b601-b59ba1d5675b ro single
