Hi,
PB> If you reboot and add "single" on the grub or lilo prompt it will come up in
PB> single user mode as the root user. You can then change root's password. I
PB> do have to say I haven't done this for several years. I picked a better root
PB> pasword after that ;-).
afaik this won't work with all newer suse-versions because the
normal user/pass-login still works in single user mode...
but of course there is the expert-way with init=/bin/sh
if you have physical access...
Bye.
