If it still doesn't work, then type instead of 'linux' at the lilo prompt, 'linux single', which will put you in a minimal linux environment (single mode, no networking, etc..., but 'fail-safe') No login will be required, you'll get a root shell. There you can change the root passwd, view /etc/passwd, or whatever To change your passwd (of the guy behind the prompt, i.e. root), just type # passwd If it still doesn't work, you have a problem. Call 911! koen.
