Hi,
I first installed Mandrake8.2 on an old Compaq Prolinea 575e a few months
ago and I never finished configuring some things - like a firewall. I suspect
that I was hacked into one evening, as I suddenly lost permission to various
files and my root password was changed.
I rebooted into single-user mode and reset the root password, but when I
logged in normally, the new password didn't work. I've since re-installed
Mandrake8.2, but the root password that I setup during the installation doesn't
work when I'm logged in. It will work, however, if I log in as myself and then
'su'.
Any ideas of how I can log in as root? Is something corrupted in my BIOS
or on my hard drive?
Thanks,
Dan
