In ubuntu root passwd = user passwd, since you have to use sudo and you can't login directly as root.
|
To reset it, do a "chroot" from a live-cd to your main installation and use "passwd" to change the password.

crack root passwd
please specify which distro you are using.
Just boot from a live CD, mount the / partion and removed the password field "x" in /etc/passwd file for root. You can go inside without a passwd and once loged in as root change the passwd and restore the original configuration. |
