Sometimes, when we use Ubuntu, things do not go as planned. Whether it is a system crash or we forget our Ubuntu login password, knowing how to respond can be very useful. Ubuntu 20.04 provides two important modes which are the rescue mode and emergency mode. These are alternative options by which we can boot into our Ubuntu.

We can use this mode when our operating system face problems such as a boot failure, file system errors, or misconfigured settings. It provides a safe environment with essential command-line tools that allow us to solve these issues. We can repair broken packages, reset the forgotten passwords, and recover the lost data in this mode.
The rescue mode has a large set of utilities available in it. This mode ensures the operating system’s recovery and stability.
The emergency mode in Ubuntu helps us to repair the severe issues that may prevent our system from booting normally. When Ubuntu faces problems that could potentially lead to data loss or critical system failure, the emergency mode provides a secure and restricted environment for recovery. In this mode, we get an access to a limited set of command-line tools and ensure that our system’s recovery process is under our control.
