- Then, mount the partition where you have Squeeze's "/", then changed directory to /mnt/etc
- Used vim / nano as an editor to edit the file shadow.
- Find the line starting with root:
- Delete everything between the first and second colons (:), and the line will now look like:
root::$6$fsdsdgdsg74.:14862:0:99999:7:::
- Reboot as root without a password.
