Idea #4836: Ask if the user still remembers his password after installation

Description

I saw this feature in a distribution called Pardus. When the installation is actually finished, the computer asks the user if he still remembers the password he set. If no, the user can reset the password again.

This seems to be very useful and gentle. I never actually forget my password, but I think many people do, especially as most of the Windows-users didn't have a password on Windows.

Yeah, maybe rather as a button / link "I forgot my password" available on the last screen of the installer. Something unintrusive and skippable without even a click.

yes. I never forgot mine neither, but I admit, that it looks incredibly gentle on the screen - and gentle is ubuntu

This sums up what Ubuntu is about. I wish I could vote it 10X
