Boot your VM, at the GRUB boot prompt select your kernel, press "e" to edit, add a "1" at the end of the line that starts with the word "kernel". Now boot that kernel and you will be in runlevel 1 which is not automagically protected on regular installs. You'll end up at a prompt after which you can type "passwd" to change the root password or for example "passwd tagwar" to set a password for existing user named "tagwar". Type "telinit 3" will make the multi-user and network stuff come up after which you can log in or type "telinit 5" instead to have the previous plus the graphical shell stuff.

I did all Until now everything is fine

But from here nothing came

It continue booting until the screen of the user name and the password


i hope you can help some more

Or if there is default user name and password i may try


Appreciate your response

Try adding "init=/bin/bash" after the "1".

nothing happen
even after i write what you told me
i try to restart but i found the line not saved
means what ever i add to the line after restarting it go back to defult setting.

i hope you got me.

it's not saving after i add the any idea how to save????

after i press "e" i can edit then i press enter key
but every time it go back to the same thing. and i have to add this again and again

something more
is there any spaces between the "1" and the prvious word.

check the above image

You can't save it until you can access the image properly (and it shouldn't be necessary unless you want to add a separate GRUB entry for it) and the kernel line requires spaces between items.
