If you can log in to the box as a user do an su passwd root and that should prompt you to set the new password for the root user Magnus -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gabe Knuth Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 4:07 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT - Linux Root Password Unknown A client of ours lost their IT guy recently. He was one of those "anti-documentation" guys, and was the ONLY ONE who knew the Linux root password. Does anyone know how I can hack and crack my way into the system, or even if I can?
