Hey everyone, I maintained the Web server at the school district where I used to work. After moving on to a new job I sat down with the head geek over there and they reset the root password. Unfortunately, it seems that the root password was mangled on entry and now no one can log in as root. I thought that booting into single user mode would allow someone to change the root password without knowing the old root password. On this box, however, typing 'linux single' on boot still brings up a password prompt. I don't know if there is a boot floppy anywhere. This is a recently updated Debian 3.0 machine. Can anyone offer some advice on how to reset root? -Tim -- Timothy D.
