Can somebody help me please?
I need to access my Linux files from within windoze. I've managed to lose my password so I can't log on to Linux.
You could access the files directly from windows using explore2fs. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
Anybody got any ideas?
But, it's easier to just boot into single.
At the lilo prompt, type "linux single" (or if your boot image is not called "linux" use whatever it normally uses, hit tab at the prompt for a list). If you use lilo, but get no prompt, hit ctrl the second it says "LILO".
Then, once it boots run passwd to change the root password.
