One of my clinets has changed the password of root user, and just forgot then ! There is anyway to change it ?
I think you can boot from a rescue CD, then mount the partitions /bin or /sbin (wherever passwd is) and /etc as /mnt/BLAH . Then chroot /mnt , and run the passwd command (you may have to look around for it, as your $PATH variable won't be the same). I think that will fix it.
Another option is to boot with linux init=/bin/bash And then remount read/write: $ mount -o remount,rw / Now you have access to the system and can edit the respective password file items. This should be in the FAQ, I doubt it's not already actually. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
