Please explain further why you want to do this... In general, if you don't know root's password, you probably shouldn't. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

This is kind of a "metoo" post, but in another thread he explained: basically, he thinks his admin is restarting his "login" while he's working, so he wants to go in and reset the admin's password out from under him...
In general, if you don't know root's password, you probably shouldn't.

I am assuming that you forgot your root password right? If you reboot and add "single" on the grub or lilo prompt it will come up in single user mode as the root user. You can then change root's password. I do have to say I haven't done this for several years. I picked a better root pasword after that ;-). pben On Sunday 13 April 2003 09:18 am, jamu pegel linux wrote:

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.
