recovering root password gentoo lilo
Hi
I am having few issues with compaq proliant PL1850R with six scsi drives. it is installed with Gentoo linux and rite now it is just loading the file system as read only.
I tried to load boot with knoppics but that was also unable to mount the filesystem. bcz it cannot iset the module for the raid controller.
I tried to reset the root password on gentoo by giving the command at the lilo
e.g i have tried
linux single
and linux init =/bin/bash
it says cannot find linux single.
i am using Lilo
Is there any other way to change the root password, as i cannot boot from any bootable cd.
once it went into the gentoo and i changed the root passsword and that isnt working any more, neither the old password.
Any reply will be highly appreciated.
Regards
