i install fedora 7 cuz zimbra does nt support ubuntu 10.04 they support only ubuntu 6 or 8.
i ll tell u the story , i have a pc up and running fine , til the mobo die. Then i took the hdd to other similar pc with almost the same mobo and it boot but say kernel panic. So i took a new hdd then i install fedora 7 again then i copy from the old hdd usr and etc.
now it boots up just fine but i dont know the password i had use.
Maybe i can copy the hash from other server that i know the password to this new server or just overwrite the shadow file .
what do u think?

Boot into your Fedora Live CD then look at /var/log/{messages,secure} for clues?
Did anything strange happen before you "lost" your root password?
