How do I change passwords on an install, e.g. my F14, into which I cannot login? I can edit the files from either Knoppix or from a CentoS terminal.
edit /mnt/.../etc/shadow and delete the password hash between the first two :'s, so it looks like username::.....
then boot that system, log into it without any password, and set a password immediately.
Thanks. I'll do that.
