Bug Description
I have Ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox and somehow wasn't able to get into recovery mode via Grub. So I tried to reset my password using the Live CD, as described here: https:/
However, Step 2 "Mount Your Drive" is not explained and frankly I have no idea what to do. It would be great if you could spell it out in more detail.
Thanks!

Figured it out now, typed sudo mkdir /somedir and sudo mount /dev/sda1 /somedir in the terminal. However it would still be nice if the docs would be updated.
