Hiya i have a laptop i got from work which has Red Hat on it... i know this is a debian news-group but the question is not linux specific....
How can i reset the root password. I do not want to have to reinstall to gain control of this system. I know a couple of logons on the system but i do not have root. I heard something about rebooting and holding down the shift/ctrl keys... I did that and it stopped at the lilo prompt...when i didn't enter anything it just loaded up as per normal. At the lilo prompt is there a way to load up linux in a different init state. Perhaps that is what needs to be done. Thanx Zane
