Hi all

How can I access Fedora to   change my
screwed up Root Password-FC3
on a Dell Laptop [  it has a floppy but No cdrom]

I must have typed in the same erroneous password twice.. go figure?

Many thanks in advance

Johnny


Johnny,

Boot into single user mode (by specifying the keyword 'single' as a
bootloader option) and change root password from there

eg. kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.521 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet single

Regards,

Ben Halicki
