Thanks! The problem is I can't run passwd. How would I run passwd in level 1 (I think that would be the result of typing "linux 1" at the LILO prompt) be any different from running passwd from a command prompt in level 5?
I have installed every update that Red Hat has issued for my 7.3 server within 24hrs of getting a notice. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
