You bring up a good issue though.. If you lose a password and reset it, isn't that a security hole? how can you stop someone from resetting or changing the root password ...
This has been hashed over so many times in so many places... If you can't ensure *physical* security to the computer (i.e. anybody can walk up to it and reboot it off a floppy, etc.), there is no way to ensure data security. Password protected BIOS's, etc. can help, but the only truely secure computer is locked in a room with no cables going to it. -Nick
