My root password expired. I can't su and login from the

Ze,
Restart the computer and put it into single user mode. At either LILO or
GRUB, type 'linux 1' at the prompt.
Then, once the computer has started, go into a terminal and type in 'su'.
You won't need to enter in a password. Type in 'userconf' and change the
root password.

This question is sort of along the lost password lines.
If I loose the root password, am I totally screwed?

Well, I ran out with it at 350 Mb and that was recommended in a book I have on the
topic
of partition sizes. Matter of fact, most of the other partitions were either empty or
close to it. Somewhere it's putting everything in / I do believe. Either way, I won't
run out for a while now.

doesn't like my password. I can go in as my alternate user, and after
successfully logging in, type in "su" then the root password and it

and tried again.

I did that, and am aware of the difference in capital vice lower case. First

Some of the other OS's I've worked with (VMS - shudder) allow the
administrator to require 2 passwords to access the admin. account. It
was very handy to be able to prevent outside forces from guessing logins
- in the event of a "break in" the hack didn't already have half of the
login sequence.
