[Xen-users] Re: lost root password in guest

[Alexandre Bezroutchko <abb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Apparently I can't find back the original question, but if the problem 
is in the lost root password as the subj suggests, there is a nice 
trick: set Boot OS parameters (XenCenter, VM Properties, Startup 
Options) to 'init=/bin/sh' and reboot -- you will get root prompt on 
your console. You'll have to remount your root file system in rw mode 
(mount -o remount,rw /) before you can make any changes on the file 
system. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Alex
