Thank you for your quick response ...
If I hard boot my linux box is there a way of interrupting the startup procedure so that i get to the command line and change the passwd?
On LILO prompt boot: type ``linux init=/bin/sh'' (without qoutes, of course) and you'll boot into shell. Then mount your / filesystem, edit /etc/passwd with vi, and there you go... -Kastus
Just thinking ...
