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.

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..!

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others.
