Easiest way to access data from other`s computers.

Recently I changed name of my home folder in ubuntu (accidentally) . On restarting the system it says it cannot display the desktop as it finds the link to desktop to be broken. I was clue less. I tried slax OS*. But it was unable to mount the ubuntu partition (I dont Understand why this happened). 
Then I got the Idea of using ubuntu live cd and try  with ubuntu without any change in computer  and it works perfectly fine.
One more thing to note is that it does not ask any password to get root access (for obvious reasons!) .

Conclusion:
So for crash management/access of other's computer its cool to use ubuntu live cd (in fact any linux live cd should work). Get root permissons and do whatever you want.

* no instaltion required. Run from cd and access information of all your hard disk partitions.
