Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem ? Using CD1 - go into Linux rescue mode by typing "linux rescue" when booting up with CD1 It should try to mount your hard disk - confirm by using the "mount" command. If its okay, try this sh-2.04# chroot /mnt/sysimage sh-2.04# passwd This should allow you to change the root password ------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MFC E-Mail Virus Protection Service, and is believed to be clean.
