If I understand the above correctly, you are unable to log in as root, correct? If so, then how is Martin's suggestion of changing /etc/shadow going to help you? You would need to be logged in as root to be able to edit this file. Or am I mistaken?
~ you can use a boot disk { say, Tom's Killer Boot Disk } { http://www.toms.net/rb/ } then, mount the / root partition on, say, /mnt next, use vi to edit the password -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
