Linux root password mystery
« on: December 12, 2008, 06:23:09 AM »
Well, I inherited an older Redhat Linux box.  The problem is that I don't have the root password!  Unfortunately, I think I already know the answer to this question, but is there any way to circumvent having to reinstall a new OS?!?

Thanks, now I need to find a RedHat CD, I suppose.  BTW, I love your TI 99/4A screenshot.  That was the first computer I ever owned.  Let's see, I suppose I was 11 or 12 yrs. old back then and doing more programming than I do now!  What a sad state of affairs.
