you're killing me I swear its like watching a car wreck in slow motion okay .. with that out of the way maybe I can help. so, what did you do? Did you set your root password with some numerics during the early install process and didn't have the num-lock on the numeric keypad or something similar ? doesn't matter at this point anyways look .. can you boot the CD 1 ISO into single user mode and then mount the root slice from the actual VM drive ? usually I work with "real" servers so I don't know how to do that. we need to clean up your /etc/shadow file for you okay ? and you don't know how to use vi ? holy ... this is a real process. maybe we can get you a simple command sequence to run like : grep -v root shadow > /tmp/rootless_shadow /usr/bin/echo "root::13380::::::" > root_stuff cat root_stuff rootless_shadow > new_shadow then just copy that new_shadow into the place it needs to be am I helping here ?
