Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? Trying to boot to single-user.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? Tried to boot to rescue mode.
* What was the outcome of this action? It asked for root password or
<ctrl>D so I gave
password. It gave me the command-prompt. But when I type one character it
goes back to asking
for the root password or <ctrl>D. I type in the password but it says that's
wrong but
gives the root prompt again. I give a command but after the first character it
givves
the message to enter the root password of <ctrl>D, so I re-enter the correct
root password
over and over but it says it's wrong. Alternately it gives the root prompt.
* What outcome did you expect instead? To be able to enter commands as root.
