No, it didn't ask me for a root password at all... just selected that
last option on the recovery list ("Drop to root shell with networking"
I think it was called) and about 30 seconds later I was in a root
prompt (ie. "#" prompt)I don't know why you would be getting asked for root at all - I've never known Ubuntu to want root for any form of maintenance, the whole setup is based around accessing root privileges through the "sudo" utility. Did you manually set a root password at some stage perchance? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
