#First attempt to get in via single mode. At the LILO prompt use "linux #single" (replace "linux" with whatever image you have registered). If #that asks you for your password (as do Debian boxen by default), then #attempt to use a basic shell as init, like say "linux init=/bin/bash". #If that still asks you for a password (my LILO configs do), you will #need to boot using a boot diskette or rescue CD with something like #"rescue root=/dev/hda5 init=/bin/bash". #
Quick question: Even since I learned about the procedure you mentioned about, I've always wondered if there's a way to setup a Linux box so the root password can't be changed via the route you mentioned. Is there? stay cool. jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Pinoy Ako! May reklamo?
