Subject: [plug] [OT] root password recovery
Amazing as it may seem, I've *forgotten* the root password of a fairly
important box. And there was no documentation. Is there a way to
"screw" things to extract the root password *without* booting
single-user? (going to single-user would cause a massive system outage)
