You didn't know that?
There's numerous ways to root a box you haev physical access to.
Basically, if an attacker has physical access, you're 0wn3d buddy.
linux single
linux 1
*(Above two won't work on some distros, slack comes to mind as it's
sulogin requires a root pw)
linux init=/bin/bash (completly bypass normal startup and spawn a root
shell, no login needed)
Use a bootdisk
Remove hard drive and mount in a different machine
If the attacker has physical access, consider yourself screwed (unless
you have an encrypted FS that requires a passphrase at startup).
