Re: Resetting the root password

lilo: linux init=/bin/bash

booting

I remember that with these the system was mounted read-only, so you may
be forced to do this:
bash# mount /dev/hda1 / -o remount -o rw
where hda1 is your / partition(replace with whatever suits you)

after that, a simple passwd command allows you to change your root password
bash# passwd
