Be careful of that. Someone who is encrypting the filesystem likely
has password protected the firmware, disabled booting from USB sticks,
and disabled the root account so a rescue console cannot be used to
sidestep access restrictions. That is, you don't want to hand out a
passwordless root shell in rescue mode. Also see
