Hi, If you can you boot from a linux live cd or a boot disk then you can use a chroot to change password.
For sample, if root system is in /dev/hda1 you can make #mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 #chroot /mnt/hda1 #passwd O Dom, 2004-11-14 �s 23:23, Phil escribiu: > I am trying to reset my root password because I lost it.
