Reset user password in Linux Bash on Windows 10

1. edit file (in notepad or notepad++):

   %localappdata%\lxss\rootfs\etc\shadow
   

2. find your normal user, for example:

   user1:$jsdjksadgfhsdf.saflsdf.sadf.safd:17299:0:99999:7:::
   

   and simply remove the hash part (below part)

   $jsdjksadgfhsdf.saflsdf.sadf.safd
   

   you will see a different hash - I hope :), so should look like:

   user1::17299:0:99999:7:::
   

3. Save the file
4. start bash again
5. sudo bash
6. password this will ask for your new password without requiring previous one.
