Using Linux - Recovering user password

Yesterday I lost my password account...
Following this tuto I cracked that and my old password and used my PC again...
I was pretty lucky, cause don't forget my root pass... and there is another user on my PC... I just logged on the other user, opened the shell, and "followed" the tutorial's instructions.

Using Linux - Microphone Issues [Solved]

Hey there!

I've been using Linux last month...
Like all Linux newbies I had some problems...
The first one was my Wireless card (I have a Dell Vostro 1510), the Debian default driver for Broadcom Chipsets just don't works with it.
The second problem was my microphone... It doesn't worked on Skype or Voice Recorder... after some hours of Google.. I've found the following solution:

1 - Open Shell like root.

2 - type:
  ~root@NetimNote:/home/celsoneto# alsamixer

3 - Go to Capture section (F4).

In my case, I just lowered "Front Mic Boost" and "Capture" options and pulled up "Digital" option and....

Ta-da!!!! Everything worked!

Bye!
