Hi Luggies May I request you all to help me out in recovering root
password of FC 6 machine running web application with kernel Linux
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen. Luckily the user access is being feasible with
the same machine but not with root access. Highly appreciate your
valuable suggestion and timely help. s.mahalingam
Boot with a liveCD. Mount the root directory on /mnt. Clear out
the password field in /mnt/etc/shadow. Reboot into the machine. Log in
as root, and set the password.
