    Recover - Reset forgotten linux


    root password
    admin Uncategorised 22 March 2013

    Introduction
    This method of reseting/recovering of lost Linux root password
    should work on most of linux distributions. I have tested this
    method for couple years already, starting with debian
    woody,redhat and suse to ubuntu .

    UPDATE:To recover a root password on REDHAT and CentOS


    visit a following guide on how to recover a root password on
    RHEL 7 Linux (/recover-a-forgotten-root-password-on-redhat-7-
    linux-selinux-system).
    UPDATE:To recover a root password on Ubuntu visit a following
    guide on how to recover a root password on Ubuntu 16.04
    Xenial Xerus Linux (/how-to-reset-lost-root-password-on-
    ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus-linux).

    If you run lilo boot loader instead of grub you can use the same
    method but with some modi cations on how to edit lilo boot
    prompt.

    Edit Grub boot menu


    options
    First you need to get into grub menu options. This menu is
    displayed right at the beginning of the boot. If you cannot see
    your grub menu options press "ESC' key.
    You should get something similar to this:

    Now we attempt to edit grub's boot option. Press "e" to edit the
    rst grub menu option and navigate to kernel line:

    Press "e" key again to edit and remove:

    quiet splash

    and add:

    init=/bin/bash

    You may have some di erent boot options but the main part
    you need to change/add is init=/bin/bash. You will get
    something similar to this:

    Press enter:
    At this point, we have edited grub boot menu, and we are ready
    to boot. Press "b" key to boot.

    Remount / and /proc


    After successfully boot you will be presented with bash
    command prompt:

    On some linux systems, you will need to completely mount /


    and /proc partitions. To do that, enter following commands:

    mount -o remount,rw / mount -o remount,rw /proc

    * NOTE: If you are not sure that if your partition is already


    mounted RW, run the above command anyway as, otherewise
    on some systems you will not be able reset your root password.
    If you fail to do so, you get this error displayed on the screen:

    passwd: Authentication token lock busy


    * NOTE: On some Linux distributions, you will have /proc
    mounted already if this is not your case, just run following
    command:

    mount /proc

    reset / recover forgotten


    linux root password
    To reset a actual root password is now simple as typing :

    passwd

    Reboot
    Before you reboot it is recommended but not compulsory to
    run

    sync

    command. Your job of reseting a linux root password is


    accomplished.
