I am able to get to single mode but when I type passwd to reset root password I got error shown below. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error I try top copy and edit shadow file but it does not let me as it says the file is read only. Any idea?

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. How do I recover it? I run redhat v9 and I have the system configured to have dual-boot. How do I get it to single mode to recover root password?
