Title: Single User Mode
Post by: Lowell Fuher on April 05, 2006, 12:11:41 AM

Lost Password on SME 7.X box - Single user mode apparently doesn't work the same as it did in previous versions.   Is there way to retrieve/change root password in 7.X?

Single user mode works the same. But you need to use a different technique to get into single user mode. At the grub splash screen you'll need to type 'a' for append, then add " single", then enter.

Thanks Charlie - Just what I was looking for.  Will save that in my Knowledge Base.

And Thanks to you as well Ray - I had the FAQ, but not the other.
