How can I change screwed up Root Password-FC3 on Dell Laptop

[Falko Pilz]

Hello,

nothing easier than this :-)

all you need is
- a running grub and a bootimage (on DVD or 1'st CD)  realy you only 
need a kernel and a "installation" initrd 

or 

-an PXE environment (DHCP and TFTPServer) including a PXE-enabled NIC

Regards

Falko
