You can change your runlevel temporary at the grub screen. At the GRUB screen press the "e" key and at the second line where kernel is select your cursor at the line and again press "e" key once the edit is started type at the end of line "3" or "linux 3". Now you can goto single usermode easily any other help contact me O.K -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
