If you have a rescue disk or can use the install CD as a rescue disk boot
using this rescue disk and mount your hard disk. Edit the /etc/shadow file
and look for something like this:
yourliginname:$some-junk-here:11130:0:99999:7:::
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
edit it so it looks like this:
yourliginname::11130:0:99999:7:::
reboot your system and you should be able to login without a password.
BTW this works for root too, JIC you forget root's password.
This information is from the "Installing Linux Slackware" booklet that come
with the Slackware 3.6 CD set from Walnut Creek CDROM.
