Re: Can not login as root
Yes, single asks for the root password but init=/bin/sh appended to the kernel line just opens a shell. s. keeling wrote: Pawe?

Re: Can not login as root
Example for the previous Mail: In /etc/passwd Change the line root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash to root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash Note the missing 'x' which means this user has to provide a password.

Re: Can not login as root
Thanks James, It worked!!! Murat At 10:04 PM 9/3/2008, James Shupe wrote: Just reset the root password. Reboot, and at Grub select the kernel, hit 'e', then append init=/bin/sh to the end of the kernel line (without the quotes). Press 'b', to boot the system. Once it boots, you can run mount -o remount,rw / to make sure the root volume is mounted rw, and then use the passwd utility to change the password or a text editor to delete the password hash (in between the second and third colons on a line) from /etc/shadow. Reboot the system normally when you're done. Murat Ohannes Berin wrote: Hi, I just insralled Debian on my laptop. However, I can not login as root. It says wrong password.
