I am having problem with my Linux OS because I lost the user name and password.
I use the system as a platform for my IP PBX, now I can not log in and all my enterprise IP phones are down.
I also install Cent OS and Asterisks on this machine.
I need to gain access to this system to change the IP addresses on the network cards.
What should I do to recover the user name and password?
Hi Mathew Egbele
To recover the root user password you need to reboot the machine and login as single user mode.
Interrupt the boot at the GRUB stage and press ‘e’ to edit the grub, select the kernel (probably 2nd line ) and again press ‘e’ to edit. Now erase ” rhgb quiet ” and type a 1 [ ie: a1 ] and press enter button.
Now the grub loader will be dispayed again and then press ‘b’ to boot. After booting finally you will get root access. Now change the password of root user by using the command passwd
#passwd root
I hope this is helpful to you. For more feels free ask me. I am pleasure to help you.
Thanks
Other user passwords can be reset, and other administrative tasks can be performed as well. Exiting the single user root shell will boot to the multi-user mode defined in /etc/inittab.
