Hi sidzen,

"Welcome back (2014?), KenithO" Thanks! Hope I can do better this time!

Thanks for the 2 links Did not find either when Googled

"How to Reset forgotten Root passwords" By Suramya Tomar especially liked "Boot into single-user mode (easiest, least risky)".

"Linux reset forgotten root password" Question "...can reset forgotten root password under Linux by booting system into single user mode or emergency mode (also known as rescue mode)." Is Single User, Emergency & Rescue Mode all the Same? Windows Single User and Safe Mode are different.

Thanks again for your help

Ken

single is single - IOW, the same, AFAIK -- double-speak is everywhere, it seems, in various forms

No problema!
