At the 'lilo' prompt, run 'linux single'. Note that if configured properly, it'll ask you for a password (which is burried in your lilo.conf).
The other option is to boot from the boot CDROM/floppy into "rescue" mode.
I tried single it booted the kernel then asked me for the root password. ?!? Which I didn't have In the past it never did this it asked for the new password and that was it.
1)lilo: linux init=/bin/sh should give you the rootshell, 2) mount / -n -o remount,rw to mount / writeable, than passwd and set a new password 3) mount / -n -o remount,ro after that and you should be able after reboot to login with your new password. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
