Hello, I forgot my root password and recovered it the following way:
Booted my system with a Knoppix Live CD. Mounted my root partition Edited the following files: /etc/passwd /etc/shadow so that the line containing root looked the following way: passwd -> root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash shadow -> root:::: Now I can login and root has no password. Now I wanted to set the root password the following way: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# passwd Changing password for user root. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# And I get the message: User not known to the underlying authentication module Hmmm?
