Answer - Not unless you're RootYou can't. Linux systems are completely secure, and it's not a simple matter of overriding the password with some keystrokes. If you want to access information on the harddrive (as long as it's not encrypted), you will have to reboot the system with a different OS (or use a Linux live CD, such as Knoppix) and navigate the directory struction to the files you want. However, you can't RETREIVE a password on a Linux system without some serious code cracking hardware. If you have Root permissions on a computer you can reset any other users password to your choice.
