When I tried booting it into single user mode the server would still go to maintenance mode. I was able to get at it another way by passing "init=/bin/bash" which got me to a command prompt. Then remounted the drive with rw since it was in ro mode, and then changed the password. Now I have it in maintenance mode again, I just need to figure out how to do an fsck on a raid system. When I try fsck /dev/md0 I got a bad super block error and to run e2fsck -b 8192 which gives me the same error message. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
