Debian 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
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6....
- Scroll to the end of that line and press space key once and type
init=/bin/bash
- Press Ctrl X to boot
- Remount / as Read/Write
mount -rw -o remount /
- Change password with
passwd
- Type new password, confirm and hit enter and then reboot.
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.
