Hi all,
In SuSE Linux 9.x I used to be able to reset the root password in the /etc/shadow file to nul, and could reboot without password and give a new one. I have read somewhere that this loophole was removed in later OpenSUSE versions. I actually tried to do the same trick in OpenSUSE 10.3; no go.
Is there another way to delete or reset the root password if U can't remember it any more on OpenSUSE versions?

I thought it was you removed the "x" from /etc/passwd, to make it a passwordless login. You have to boot from some other Linux system, such as a rescue CD etc., to do this. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
