This is another popular way to loose your root password :) If you're not using shadow passwords, just boot from a rescue disk, edit the password file, delete the root password, and reboot. You will have no password for root, and can now login as root and rest it. I assume it's possible to eidt your password frile from a rescue disk if you have shadow passwords, but it bats me how. Maybe delete the passwd for root in /etc/shadow? rick
