Deleted ROOT account
I was trying to hack into the root account in my VMWARE's UBUNTU install.
But apperantly instead of doing the following things in VMWARE's UBUNTU I did it on my real desktop UBUNTU DAPPER installation. This is what I did: I deleted the root line from /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd and after did: Code:
userdel -r root Code:
tom@tomi:~$ sudo |
Boot from a LiveCD and repair the /etc/passwd file by re-adding the line you deleted. Easiest way would be to just restore from a backup.
