you can simply changes your encrypted password of your user on /etc/shadow and set it to U6aMy0wojraho

Example :

# vim /etc/shadow

look for  your username, in my case it will be test

test:$1$gEF/FyxR$V40saBgHX4EsFX4JtrP5i0:14460:0:99999:7:::

You just need to changes the bold text into  U6aMy0wojraho

test:U6aMy0wojraho:14460:0:99999:7:::

then save and quit

:wq!

Then reboot it

# reboot

then go to your sheel or GUI to test it :)

I have test it on ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10
