Re: [Xen-users] restore root password in domU



Hi Alex,

maybe it works for you:

add extra=" vga=normal init=/bin/sh xencons=tty" temporary to the vm config file than create the domain with console like (you have to delete if you had it added with the new option first)
xm create linuxvmtocrack -c

you will get into the domain but the hdd will be readonly (the os shows like it would be rw but the tools reading /etc/mtab which is readonly since the
last reboot, so the tools not changed the state to ro)
so you have to:
mount / -o remount,rw
and than you can change the password with
passwd
and poweroff the vm
poweroff

and remove the extra settings and you can start the vm with the new password set.
