Don't know that recovery would be possible, but you can change it. Boot into single-user by appending "1" to the end of the kernel line in the grub boot menu. Use "passwd" to change the password. -- S C Rigler RHCE #803003335409754 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Nguyen, David M Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 9:45 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: How to recover root password I forget root password.
