Sorry for the cross post

All of a sudden my root password doesn't work. Looks like I've been hacked (though the last time I ran YOU was three weeks ago) it's a Firewall/Web system with ports 80,22,postgres open. Anyways I need to know the command to boot lilo to super user mode.

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. -Nick
