forgotten root password
Hi to everyone,
I've installed sarge on my ibook, but
I had some keymap problems
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=266691
and an annoying message that forced me to change
root's and my user's passwords [1]
([1] By the way is my password too weak or it is
a bug in the login(?) program?)
So I've forgotten root's password.
Which string shall I pass to yaboot to have a shell...
an then...
mount /dev/hda3
and erase root's password from /etc/shadow?
Thank you very much,
regards
Giovanni
