== Debian Squeeze change root password ==
=== Method 1 ===
* Boot into '''grub''', select '''''single user''''' but '''do not press enter'''.
* Press '''e''' to go into '''edit''' mode.
* Scroll down to the '''kernel''' line, it starts with "<tt>linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6…….</tt>"
* Scroll to the end of that line and press '''space key''' once and type <tt>init=/bin/bash </tt>
* Press '''Ctrl X''' to boot

<source lang="bash">
# Remount / as Read/Write
mount -rw -o remount /

# Change password with
passwd

# type new password, confirm and hit enter and then reboot.
</source>

=== Method 2 ===
* Boot from another installation of Debian. (One can use a LiveCD to get access to the "/" partition.)
* 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.
* At the end use '''passwd''' to set a new root password.
* Reboot and login as '''root''' with the new root password.
