Hi: I have Linux Red Hat V6.0 running on a Pentium II PC, some how the password
got corrupted, because now the system will NOT let me logon, nor as a root or
as a normal user.
Reading the installation guide on p227, it says that if  /etc/passwd got
corrupted to boot into single mode by typing Linux 1 at the LILO boot prompt,
which I did and the system came up with this prompt #bash or something similar,
I do not know what to do now, I tried the command login and it did ask me for
the password, but again it did not like the answer.
If any body have ay ideas? suggestions they are very welcome
TIA
