You can try resetting the root password by entering runlevel 1. On the grub selection screen, place the selection on Suse and hit 'e'. Select the kernel line and hit 'e' again. Type '1' at the end of the line, press 'enter' and 'b' to boot into runlevel 1. Then use the 'passwd' command.

thks but my password i correct ! it is not giving message that password is incorrect!

So you are able to login as root then?

..>su
passwd:******
su:su: 23: No such file or directory
if my password is wrong then
..>su
passwd:***********
incorrect password.

what's the output of 'whereis su'?

su: /bin/su /usr/share/man/man1/su.1.gz
