Boot with the install CD/DVD and choose linux rescue.
It will bring you to the sh3.0# prompt. The partitions in your harddisk are mounted under /mnt/sysimage. You can either go to this directory and issue the following command Code:
cd /mnt/sysimage chroot . # ( see the (.) dot here) passwd New password for root Retype New password Code:
cd /mnt/sysimage cd etc vi passwd # ( you can edit the root informantion by removing the x in the root:x:..........................) I am not sure if this setup works in harddisks setup with LVM and/or RAID partitions. ricc
