Some times ago, I read an interesting article about reseting root password: http://www.iodigitalsec.com/reset-linux-root-password/ You can first try to stop the bootloader in its initial phase and pass /bin/sh as initial program instead of /sbin/init or /bin/systemd. This allows to boot and get full rights to your system. Nice if you have no Rescue CD. > > Bob Jean-Marc <jean-marc@6jf.be>
