Root Password Problem

[dballester at kernpharma.com]

Reboot your machine. When grub appears, push 'e' key ( edit mode ). Go to
the line that begins with 'kernel boot ' at the end of this line add the
'single' word.

Push enter key ( Return )

Push 'b' key ( this tells grub to boot the system )

After a while you will get a shell prompt ( your system is started in mono
user mode, in other words, as root without password and without services )

execute 'passwd' follow the instructions to define a new password. Reboot

Personalmente, mis problemas de suministro de software legal se limitan a
averiguar qué debo poner detrás de "apt-get install ..." omni en barrapunto

Que parte de /sbin/ifconfig eth0|grep 'inet'|awk -F' ' '{print $2}'|sed -e
s/addr:// no entiendes?
