Re: [ilugd] PASSWORD LOST
Hello sir upon defining command at top of the line by pressing e (in the grub boot menu), and then pressing b for booting, coming across as 'Unrecognised Command'. Please guide where I am committing mistake. thanks MALKIAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, Its not at all a problem if u loose a password. U cant retrieve it ..thats for sure because its encrypted by a Trap-Door Algorithm which is one-way encryption. but u can always change it. Wat u can do is ..in ur grub menu while booting .before u boot into linux press 'e'. to edit the menu. In the boot sequence first line u append init=/bin/sh then u boot.! after u r in , u get a prompt like sh# there u write # mount -o remount -n / u then give the passwd command..like # passwd simply change ur password by giving new one. Another trick is ..! when u get sh# prompt ..simply in next prompt do # vim /etc/passwd n from the first line ...erase the 'x' beside root.! ur root is passwrodless now..!

Re: [ilugd] PASSWORD LOST
boot ur system through the super user mode using the bootable Cd you can find the info using googling. You can reset ur password for the super user using it . You dont need a reinstall.

Re: [ilugd] PASSWORD LOST
You should append 1 to the end of your kernel boot line in the grub menu. 1 is single user mode (run level 1 ) and will boot you directly into a root shell. You can then use passwd to change your password. Then reboot or type init 5 and you system should come fully up.
