I have a pi with Debian 7 which I have had working a while age. I now I find I can't log on. I am not sure if I changed password, but don't think I did. Can I reset password without loging in?

Use another linux box where you have root, insert SD card and change /etc/passwd and/or /etc/shadow to whatever you like, like empty password or known password hash from another computer.
