the last reply for that bug (quoted below) seems to have a solution, although i
haven't tried it myself. it would seem you just need to install one
of the wordlist packages (ie wenglish) and then rerun the
/etc/cron.daily/cracklib script. the wordlist should probably be a
dependency for libpam-c

I've noticed during the boot sequence of 2.4.18, after the ramdisk is loaded
there is a 5 second pause during which time you can get a root shell.
Do you get this opportunity? I realize it asks for a password, but it is one
more thing to try.
Other than that, using a rescue disk or the i

Hi,
Simple. Do the init=/bin/sh trick. When you're booted, mount / -o
remount,rw
Then edit /etc/passwd and add this to /etc/passwd:
root2::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
This should do the trick :)
Hope it works!

Using init=/bin/sh , manually edit the /etc/shadow file. Copy the root
section from another linux box (that you know the password for) and type it
in letter by letter. That should give you a valid root password.

Hi,
