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

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?

Thanks,
Gabe
