Add "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel's command line at boot time. Then it will boot directly into a root shell. However, if you've configured the boot loader to prohibit passing arguments to the kernel (or if you've configured it to require a password and have forgotten that as well), you'll need to boot from a CD. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
