Boot the system with a recovery disc of some sort. (There is one for Fedora, I believe. There are others on the net.) Mount the disk with the /etc partition on it read/write. Edit /etc/shadow and remove the password expiration information. Don't forget to backup the old one in case you bjork it up. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
