reboot with a rescue disk, mount your root partition and edit the /etc/passwd file deleting the 'x' of user root. Then reoobt your system and when you login as root, the system doesn't ask you the passwd. Once you've logged as root, you can introduce a new passwd with the command passwd. -----Mensaje original----- De: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]En nombre de Rodrigo Nascimento Enviado el: martes, 25 de noviembre de 2003 18:54 Para: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Asunto: Re: recover root password ? boot at single mode ========================================= Rodrigo Nascimento Debian Woody Freesoftware = Liberty Do you want more something? ========================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Goh" <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 1:28 PM Subject: recover root password ? > Hi, > I just install Linux 9 and I know I setup root password but some > how did not let me log in as root.
