All,
I have a client who lost root password for his machine running FC 11. I
made an attempt to recover password by booting in single mode. I am
familiar with editing the GRUB boot menu and appending "linux single" to
make the server boot in sigle mode.
My surprise, the machines boots differently. I noticed one major thing
that looked different from other versions of Fedora I have used before.
It does not bring up the Grub menu. It does not even show the services
startup. It goes straight into login prompt bypassing all other stages
which I guess run from background.
Any I dea?
I am told this has just started after loss of this password. Looking
forward to your useful tips.
