on the commaned line type:

passwd <username>

where <username> is the username whose password is to be reset.

Then set a new password when prompted.

You did not need to change your root password, but if you have done it
already; its no big deal.

To change the user password (lets say the username is biraj), login as
root (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and do the following: "passwd biraj". You will be
prompted to enter the new password and confirm the change. Thats it!

Does he know his root password?  If so, press ALT-F2 (or CTRL-ALT-F2)
at the login screen to get into a console, login as root, and change
the user password.

If he doesn't know the root password, he needs to boot into single user mode -
