you didn't get it. you have something that changed your /etc/shadow, iiuc, and don't know what so your entire box is suspect. afa "many articles" on restoring root password, most work if you follow the instructions. simplest is, iirc, adding bash to the grub boot line and altering /etc/shadow (remove the password section for root), then: password root <newpassword> follow prompts or simply booting with a usb stick containing a system and altering /etc/shadow as above. or I may not remember correctly but can claim oldtimerrrs. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
