I have been using suse for a bit now, having used RH previously. One feature that I seem not to see or maybe it's just not there.
In RH, there was a way to recover the root password. As I am an independant consultant, I can just imagine getting to a client's site and they don't remember/know the root password.
Is there a way/method to recover/reset the root password in suse?
Thanks, Lyle
this method is available for a linux distros: at boot menu (if grub/lilo press esc) type: linux init=/bin/bash after starting the system. # mount -o remount,rw / # passwd root # mount -o remount,ro / reboot. Josephine
