Re: admin password?
Hi! I know two ways, how to crack a system with a lost root password. 1. Use a livefile-cd like knoppix and mount the partitition witrh /etc/shadow on. Then remove everything at root between the first two :: At next boot, you will not be asked for a root password. 2. Boot with kon-boot. Google for it and download the image. You can create a floppy- or a cd-image. Good luck! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: admin password?
If that option doesn't work out, you can usually grab any old Linux live media of the same architecture as what you have installed and set up a chroot onto your install, which will get you root access onto your installed system. Then you just run passwd to change it. On 12/29/2012 11:58 PM, Zenaan Harkness wrote: If your normal user is in /etc/sudoers, then run sudo su - root to become the root user.
