Hi, I had a serious trouble yesterday that I had lost my root password, but with some searching I was able to reset the same. Though my problem is solved but the procedure adopted worries me a lot.
Here's the exact procedure that I did: I booted linux in single user mode : LILO : linux single and it took me to the root shell sh_2.04> i executed the command passwd and changed the password. Now if changing the password is ever so easy then everybody with the knowledge of this procedure can do so, and cause unspelled trouble. Now isn't this a security issue.
