Hi
I have dual boot system. Redhat 5 and XP.
i lost the root password and guest password for RH5.
Any way to booting the system.
Pls help me.
I'm not exactly sure, but putting the installation CD of RHEL and looking for options like : repair, single user mode, or something similar may help.
Edit : actually, see those links - No1 and No2 and see if you can fix it this way.
As far as i remember you have to boot from CD and chose rescue mode (Single user mode will probably ask you for a root password). You will be asked if you want to have your real system to be mounted under directory (i think it is /mnt/sys or something like that).
Then you can edit shadow file manualy or chroot to your real system and change root password.

Boot the OS in single user mode and change the root login password .
