Lost root password

Post by bas60 »

is there any way to reset the ROOT password ?

I can login as Admin, (which I normally use on a day to basis) but not root !

Without root I can't update the system

I'm running a VM on Vmware

Can I perhaps boot of a Live CD of some sort and ??
if so which & what to do ?

Changing root password should have no effect on the function of the EFA appliance.

You can boot in single user mode at the console and reset root from there.
