Messed up root
I've done the unthinkable. I accidentally changed root to qroot in my
/etc/passwd file and then proceeded to log out of root. All of the files
in /etc were changed to owner qroot and the root password doesn't work
any more. I have a new Knoppix CD and a new Debian network install CD.
Can I use either of these to edit the passwd file and correct the
problem. If so, how.
Thanks in advance
Gary R.
