I have the answer...
The only essential thing is that you should have a Linux boot CD ofthe same operating system for which you want to crack root password.Some other Linux boot CD may work in some cases. If system is able toboot from the CD, it will take you to a command prompt as shown.
Type ‘linux rescue’ at this command prompt and enter as shownboot:
It will take you to some interface with some questions, answer themproperly. The system will go to temporary command prompt. Then issuethe following commandsboot: linux rescue [Enter]
[bash$] chroot /mnt/sysimage [Enter]
[bash$] cd /boot/grub [Enter]
[bash$] vi menu.lst [Enter]1 | [bash$]exit |
Press ‘e’ at boot screen and again by taking the pointer to thesecond line press e. Now you can see yourself on a command prompt.Remove ‘rhgb quiet’ from there and write single and press enter.
Now you will come back to the boot screen. Press ‘b’ and system willappear to boot and leave you in command line interface like this.
Just type passwd like this-bash2-$
Now you have set a new password. Now exit from the shell and system will boot properly in graphical interface.
-bash2-$ passwd [Enter] new password:
retype new password:
passwd: All authentication updated successfully.
If there is any error in the procedure please post your suggestions.-bash2-$ exit [Enter]
