You may also find that you have lost this password, or need to change\u00a0<\/span>it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To change the password after you lost it:<\/p>

  1. Firstly, put your server into rescue mode<\/strong>.

    <\/li>
  2. Then, identify the system partition<\/strong> with the following command:
    Disk \/dev\/hda 40.0 GB, 40020664320<\/span> bytes\n255<\/span> heads, 63<\/span> sectors\/track, 4865<\/span> cylinders\nUnits<\/span> =<\/span> cylinders of 16065<\/span> * 512<\/span> =<\/span> 8225280<\/span> bytes\n\nDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System\n\/dev\/hda1 * 1<\/span> 1305<\/span> 10482381<\/span> 83<\/span> Linux\n\/dev\/hda2 1306<\/span> 4800<\/span> 28073587+ 83<\/span> Linux\n\/dev\/hda3 4801<\/span> 4865<\/span> 522112+ 82<\/span> Linux swap \/ Solaris\n\nDisk \/dev\/sda 8254<\/span> MB, 8254390272<\/span> bytes\n16<\/span> heads, 32<\/span> sectors\/track, 31488<\/span> cylinders\nUnits<\/span> =<\/span> cylinders of 512<\/span> * 512<\/span> =<\/span> 262144<\/span> bytes\n\nDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System\n\/dev\/sda1 1<\/span> 31488<\/span> 8060912<\/span> c W95 FAT32 (<\/span>LBA)<\/span>\n<\/pre><\/div>
    In the example above, the system partition is \/dev\/hda1.<\/p><\/li>
  3. Next, mount the system partition<\/strong> using the following commands:
    # mount \/dev\/hda1 \/mnt\/<\/span><\/pre><\/li>
  4. By default, the system partition is locked for editing. You need to enable it to write access:
    # chroot \/mnt<\/span><\/pre><\/li>
  5. Lastly, change the password:
    # passwd<\/span>\n\nEnter new UNIX password:\nRetype new UNIX password:\npasswd: password updated successfully<\/pre>When this is done, change the boot mode on your server back to\u00a0boot from hard disk<\/code> and restart it. Your root password is successfully\u00a0<\/span>changed.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
