I have gone and dome something dumb and lost the paper with the root password. In the old days a Knoppix disk could be used to boot a system and remove the password indicator. Thus clearing the root password and allowing a new one to be set Is this still true?
I don't recall ever trying that method. I boot any live Linux media that knows how to mount the / filesystem, mount it, chroot to it, and execute the passwd command. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
