Hi, yes, we still exist, although progress is a bit slow, currently. The easiest way to get rid of a linux root password is the following:
1. Boot up using either an install or livecd (linux) 2. mount the respective harddrive/partition with the linux on e.g. /mnt mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 3. mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc 4. mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev 5. chroot /mnt 6. passwd Enter your new password 7. exit 8. umount /mnt/proc 9. umount /mnt/dev 10. umount /mnt 11. reboot and login to the linux with the new password Make sure you're authorized to "break" into the respective machine, since I don't want to be accused for any resulting problems with the law.
