Re: Can no longer log on!!
As far as I can remember, linux single will ask for root password. I think
it's right also for debian potato and woody.
Anyway, what would work is, provided you don't have a password set for
restricted lilo, write the following at the command prompt:
linux init=/bin/sh
That will start a shell as root, but partitions mounted as read-only. You
only have to:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/hdaX
