Why reboot? when you boot, add 'init=/bin/bash' to the boot parameters. Then run: mount /proc mount -o remount,rw / do whatever editing needs to be done before the system starts (in your case: 'passwd root'), and in the end: mount -o remount,ro / umount /proc cd / exec /sbin/init And a normal init process should start. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
