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 ...
If someone has physical access to the machine you've already lost. Even if you could prevent them from booting with 'init=/bin/sh' or whatever, they could just steal the disk out of the machine. -- -ckm
