Here is how you do it: reboot and at lilo prompt type linux init=/bin/sh This will rop you into shell. In there, mount -n -o remount rw
Then edit the /etc/passwd file and blank out root password field. (The second field). Or do that to shadow file, if you have one. Then sync and reboot. You should be able to get in without password so you can change it then Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
