Password Help

[J & K Spaulding]

Here is a method to try:

1.  Boot from the cd then open a terminal window, 
2.  Mount the root slice of your hard drive,
3.  Remove the password string from /etc/shadow.

Hope this helps.

John.

try this.  there are other ways with a live cd, but this is fairly
simple to do, and quick.
