root account expired --help

[James D. Parra]

I am curious, if I boot in init 1, and it asks for the root password, will
it give the same expired account error?

Thank you,

James

That's one way to go.  Another is to boot into single mode, change the 
root password, then "init 3" (or "init 5" if you run X on the system) and 
go.
