When it asks you for "my password", might it be asking for the root password? You might try that, instead of your password. > which like my earlier email stated, Sorry. Didn't notice your earlier email. Fortunately, my email software doesn't actually delete messages for a week. Sounds like you either forgot your password or someone changed it.

Please try describing exactly what you typed and what messages came back. - From the lilo prompt, it sounds like you would want to boot "linux single". When you get the "#" prompt, change root's password. Of course, if you have set a password in your linux configuration, you will be prompted for that before the boot proceeds. > any suggestions?
