It should boot and give you root shell. If it doesn't, try to append init=/bin/sh to the kernel parameters. After you are in, use /usr/bin/passwd to change the root password.

RE: root password lost
Title: root password lost It worked for me once so if nothing changed since then you can try: At the lilo prompt type:linux single boot single user, there is no need to delete theroot password from /etc/shadow. The passwd command works perfectly welland you can just set a new password. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Toros YosiSent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 2:17 PMTo: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Subject: root password lost Hi, I have computer that has RH7.3 on it and I don't know the root and any other users password ,can someone please tell me waht is the best way to login :)

Re: root password lost
Title: root password lost this will work only if lilo.conf don't contain a password. The good news are that the password is not encrypted, so as someone already suggested you can boot with the cd mount your HD and see the password - Original Message - From: Chen Naor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 2:52 PM Subject: Re: root password lost if you use lilo as your boot loader. reboot your system and type: single or linuxsingle on the lilo options. change the password and reboot again.
