Thank you,
James Good

I wouldn't use your Ubuntu machine for this. Boot up a live img of Manjaro, on an SD. Identify and mount the emmc root partition, and use chroot to enter the mounted partition. Then you can run 'passwd [user account name here]' in terminal to set a new password for your account. There is no file to find or change.
