what do you mean by kernel login.....If you have forgotten your pass or login log back as root in
single mode....make changes to /etc/passwd......read this:
When I instelled it asked me for 2 differnt passwords, one was somthing about the kernal and other was for root. I made both differnt but neither work.
Thanks for the info and the link I think I can get it workin with that.
