Jun 19, 2018 at 22:56 comment added goldilocks No, the stuff in the link is what you could literally see on the SD card using a system that cannot read ext4 filesystems. That's a very small (<100 MB) vfat partition that contains firmware, OS kernels, and some configuration stuff. The bulk of the OS is on a much bigger (2+ GB) ext4 partition, but if the tool you are using can't read it, it will either say there is some big partition it cannot read, or it will just pretend it doesn't exist. Anyway, I'd try Ingo's answer first.

Jun 19, 2018 at 17:28 comment added Anrpiu9 ok, but how do I locate the shadow file? The link I posted is literally whatever is in my sdcard
Jun 19, 2018 at 16:12 comment added goldilocks Not necessarily -- you just need a system that can read and write to ext4 filesystems. MS Windows by default cannot, but I think there is software you can add for that.
Jun 19, 2018 at 16:07 comment added Anrpiu9 I tried this approach as well, but the problem is that this is what the folder structure looks like ibb.co/n90nKd Do I need to mount the sd card or run something in linux?
Jun 19, 2018 at 15:58 comment added goldilocks "Open the file 'cmdline.txt' and add 'init=/bin/sh' to the end. This will cause the machine to boot to single user mode." -> RUBBISH. Sort of. But don't do this. You need to edit some files on the root filesystem to reset the password: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q/24770/5538
