Its funny that there was another lost password query today. Anyway, I =
have a linux box running redhat 7.2 that I have lost the root password =
on. I do know this, that it is 1 of 2 passwords , as I alternate between =
the 2. That would be simple enough, 50-50 chance, except that I mix up =
capitolization at ramdon and usually save the result in a secret place. =
This time though I wasin a hurry and didn't take the time to write down =
the combination.
The letters and numbers used are always in the same order, is just the =
capitolization that changes.
On a positive note, I always run under my normal user account and only =
go in as root to do administration, but that time has come today.=20
Thanks for any help
Charlie
