I tried what I normally would have used as a root username and password unsuccessfully. The same with my normal username and password. I have not set them but don't know how now to do that? Any clues? It is installed but I have not yet assigned a password for root (nor is root recognized without a password (which I have not yet assigned) and I certainly have not yet assigned a regular username and password. :(
When you boot openSUSE (using GRUB I assume) there is a place to enter boot options. If you enter "init=/bin/bash" (without the quotes) that will boot and get you a shell with root permissions. Here just issue the command "passwd" to set the root password to whatever you like. After that reboot normally and you should be able to log in as root. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
