Boot Ubuntu from an Ubuntu flavour live DVD.
Open a terminal and run
sudo apt update
sudo apt install systemd-container
Open the file browser and mount the install's root directory partition,
then change into the root directory, but first get administrative
privileges.
sudo -i
cd /media/foo/bar
Replace "/media/foo/bar" by the correct mount point.
To set new passwords for root (su) and/or a user, especially the first
user (sudo) run
systemd-nspawn passwd username_or_root
Replace "username_or_root" by "root" or your (first) user's name
(without quotes).
