Help: I forgot my root password :(
Now I can give arguments to kernel when boot. I tried : LILO Linux init=/bin/sh but my / (reiserfs) is mounted readonly. I can't change my /etc/shadow so, I did: cp /bin/bash /base/bash chmod +s /base/bash then, I reboot, login as a common user, and type /base/bash but I did't get the root right, my UID and EUID didn't change , why? my kernel is 2.4.7, compiled myself. -- Regards Tao Liu _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: I forgot my root Password
At LILO prompt, type: linux 1 and press enter. This will cause linux to start at runlevel 1 (single-user) so you can run passwd. After that, don't forget your passwd again.

RE: I forgot my root Password
From what I hear, if you're physically sitting at the server itself, you can use something called "single user mode" to get yourself out of this mess. This is all I know though so do some searching on the web with "single user mode" as your search criteria. Good luck. Brett. -Original Message-From: Dario R.

Re: I forgot my root Password
Please I need your help, I know I`m a fuckin silly user, but I forgot my root password, please I need your help, how can I recover it? get a bootdisk, boot the comp with it, mount your root partition or the partition containing /etc, open /etc/shadow (or passwd depending on your configuration) and you'll find a line like: root:insert mess of characters here:11408:0:9:7::: simply remove the characters between root: and the next colon (in this example insert mess of characters here and reboot without the bookdisk. your password will now be blank so you just have to press enter. after that just change your password to anything of your choice.
