When booting with: init=/bin/bash
...xxx... ==>(none):/# (none):/# whoami --> root
This seems to work. But when I run yast I can´t find any place where root login is forbidden...:-( I guess It´s just to edit a file directly in emacs (in the above "mode") to alow root logins again. Unfortunately I´m new to Suse Linux so I have no clue which file to make the change in???
when you reach login as above, you must change or remove root's password as you apparently are not using the password that the system expects. iirc: edit /etc/passwd find root you will see something like: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash REMOVE the second field, x save run "passwd root " and enter the password you desire. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
