The best way to recover a lost root password is to boot the installation media, the root file system should be mounted on /mnt/sysimage, but if it is not, you can mount it by hand. The use the chroot(8) command to set /mnt/sysimage as your root, then use the passwd(1) command to change the password, then to be safe, unmount /mnt/sysimage. Example: (if the root file system is not mounted: mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sysimage (assuming this is where root is) ) chroot /mnt/sysimage passwd -->you will be prompted umount /mnt/sysimage The reboot. The umount is very important. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
