Re: RH 6.1 forgot root password

For better or for worse, this is really simple.  Reboot.  At the LILO 
prompt type 'linux single' and hit enter.  It will drop you into a root 
shell.  Type 'passwd root <password>' and then exit.  I think it will even 
continue on to whatever normal run level you use.
