I am trying to leave a Fedora environment and am having problems with the root and user password. I did a 13.2 install from the DVD, leaving the mark highlighted that indicated that the user and root password would be the same (I think). When I tried to su to root, it said the password was invalid. When I logged of, it also said that the user password was now invalid. As I recall, it worked the first time I booted the system. I used a short password that the system said was not safe, but I did not care at this time. I looked at the /etc/password file from another system and there was no entry for root at all! I there a way to mount the system using the rescue boot option so that I can change my user password back? And how do I get root back? I have never had to do an adduser root. Did the system get angry at my short passwords and just ignore them? I would have expected the installation to halt if it could not generate a root account. I assume opensuse does have a root account? Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
