hi all,
quick question,
I've got a rh 6.1 system here and the owners have lost the root password for
it.
quick pointers as to how to log onto the box?


bot off a cdrom and then edit the /etc/passwd / shadow files?

Any help appreciated
Alex



At the LILO prompt, type


linux single

This will put you in single user mode, and not ask for a password. Then change the root password using passwd.

HTH,
Bill
