Thread: problems with LiveCd upgrade


hello,
upgraded ubuntu 11.04 11.11 using live cd because updater refused find new version of ubuntu.
system froze when install completed(?) , when machine restated, not recognise password.
used psychocats ubuntu tutorial on how reset password in ubuntu in effort resolve issue.
following steps in tutorial following:-

ls /home brian

however, when -

passwd brian

either 'command not found' or more irritating message saying that user not exit

mean have screwed system , lose emails, data files , collected addresses etc or there still hope ?

newby (rapidly becoming ludite), can offer me possible solution?
(or should go , buy carrier pigeon? )
