Edit: I'm good now, thanks everyone!

i have an ubuntu partition (my daily driver) and a fedora jam partition that i set up a few weeks ago and to which i've forgotten the password.

now, this isn't a big deal because i haven't really done anything on that partition yet. i can just reinstall and be on my way.

but is there a way for me to get my password back in this situation? the directions on the page i found while researching this didn't work

As long as the drive isn't encrypted, yes.

Just open the /etc/shadow file on your Fedora partition from ubuntu and remove the password bit of info from the user you wish to give a blank password.
