Re: Can't login with any user account including root

[Noah K Sematimba <ksemat at wawa.eahd.or.ug>]

at the lilo prompt type

linux init=/bin/bash

This will drop you into a shell form which you can run the passwd command
and change the root password.
You could also boot off the CD and select rescue system.
