How to Break the r00t password

To recover the root password Follow the instructions:

If you're using GRUB, then, as GRUB loads up, highlight the Red Hat Linux entry on the GRUB menu and then press [E] to edit the boot configuration. Locate the following line, something that looks like this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-0.70 root=LABEL=/hdc=ide-scsi

Type the number '1' at the end. Doing so boots the PC into run level 1-single user mode, where you're automatically logged in as root. This done, type 'passwd' at the prompt. You can enter a new password here.

Remember that since it's so easy to recover a boot password, you need to physically secure your machine if you don't want someone else using your computer as root.
