When the Grub screen comes up, press 'e' to edit the boot line and add '1' to the end. Then press Enter and 'b' to boot. That will put you into run level 1 (single user mode). Then edit /etc/shadow to delete the password. Save the file and run 'passwd' to reset the password. Then use 'telinit 5' (graphical login) or 'telinit 3' (character login) to go to your preferred runlevel. Tony - -- Anthony E.
