I found this while searching google on reseting root password without knowing the old password. Try this. Im not sure if this works on CentOS. Im new at linux doing things like that so let me know if that works and Ill save this info for myself also. 1. At the boot(grub) menu select the linux kernel 2. then press e 3. Go to the end of the line 4. add 1 or S or Single at the end of the line 5. press enter 6. press b on the line to boot from that line 7. Now the root prompt will come 8. run the command 'passwd' and it will ask you to change your password for root Harold Kb7rsi Las Vegas, NV. -----Original Message----- From: Bradley Haney [mailto:kc9gqr@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 8:44 PM To: KB7RSI Cc: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] INSTALL PROBLEM no when it was installing it asked for a new password but it wouldn't accept any i entered, then it went on and finished installing.. Then when it re booted , it booted to a black screen that said log in. is there suppose to be some web gui? On Oct 6, 2011, at 10:40 PM, KB7RSI wrote:
