Apart from the solution that was pointed out in the comment, I have another way to do the same thing. It is a modification to one of the solution in the How do I reset a lost administrative password?

  1. Power on your computer
  2. Press ESC on the GRUB prompt.
  3. Press e to edit.
  4. Move your cursor by pressing Down Arrow to kernel... or linux..., then press End
  5. Put a space at the end of the line and add the word single
  6. Press F10 and it will boot to the single user mode
  7. You will be logged into root now, without asking for a password.
  8. Use the command passwd <username> and provide the password of your choice.
  9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot

This will take you to normal OS boot and you can login to your user with the chosen password.
