vi /etc/inittab Edit the line id:5:initdefault to make it id:3:initdefault [check the runlevels - they'll be documented in the inittab file ... 5 is usually X and 3 is usually console multiuser] Then save inittab and run 'init q'. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #029 -**< Sub : Loss of root password >**- Log in to Single user mode.
