How To Reset A Forgotten Root Password With Knoppix

Version 1.0
Author: Falko Timme
Last edited 02/26/2008

This guide explains how you can reset a forgotten root password with the help of the Knoppix Linux Live-CD. Afterwards you can log in to your system as root again.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 Preliminary Note

The method I'm describing here works only on systems to which you have physical access. If your server is in a remote datacenter, for example, you can't boot it from the Knoppix CD, but most hosters provide a rescue system that you can use in the same way to reset your password.

SlackFire

$ whatis slackfire

SlackFire is an iptables script written especially for Slackware, my favourite Linux distribution in this corner of the Galaxy. The main purpose of the script is to protect a stand-alone machine or a small network with a stateful firewall that can be configured easily but in big detail.

SlackFire isn't perfect (yet) but I hope that README and this screenshot will give an idea of how it works and how it doesn't.

SlackFire may be freely used, modified, and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License with any Linux distribution except Caldera and those RedHat releases which are not legally available for free download.

Your comments, ideas, and bug reports are welcome. It will be nice if you mention SlackFire in the Subject line. ;-)

The program has been last updated on January 13, 2008.

Enjoy!

Mandriva relaunches its OS Refugees operation targetting linked sales

Mandriva relaunches its OS Refugees operation targetting linked sales

Following the success of previous years, Mandriva,
Europe's leading editor of Linux, has relaunched its programme fighting
linked sales: OS Refugees.

The recent European anti-trust ruling confirming the European
Commission
's
condemnation of Microsoft for abusing its position has been
strengthened by
the European free market think-tank Globalisation Institute's
report "Unbundling Microsoft Windows".

The freedom for users to choose an alternative operating system has
been
reinforced. Simplicity of installation and use are the spearheads of
the free
software community and form the basics of Mandriva whose principal
fundamentals embrace simplicity, innovation and openness.

Mandriva, signatories of the « Non aux racketiciels » "Say No to
software
racket" movement, wishes to join the fight on linked sales spearheaded
by the
AFUL's Détaxe/Racketiciel working group supported by APRIL, by
relaunching
its OS Refugees operation from 3rd March 2008 until April, the 8th ,
2008.

" OS Refugees" is adressed to all those who have acquired a commercial
licence
for another operating system but wish to take advantage of the openness
and
simplicity of Mandriva Linux. Mandriva pledges to reimburse up to 35%
of the
price of any purchase of products in this range to users submitting
proof of
their possession of another OS licence. Products included in this offer
are
Mandriva Powerpack 2008, Mandriva Flash 2008 and the Mandriva Linux
subscription.

Mandriva Linux Powerpack 2008 integrates a unique range of packaging
and
commercial services offering a complete Linux solution. The Powerpack
best-seller is the commercial version of Mandriva Linux and the logical
extension for users of the community version. Mandriva Linux Powerpack
2008
also features all required server and middleware components for
developers
and for small enterprise usage, like SQL databases or Web frameworks.

Mandriva Flash 2008 4GB operates as a genuine work station that the
user can
take wherever he wishes. It incorporates a new functionality - ezBoot -

which reboots under Linux without going through BIOS settings, and the
double
utilization of Windows and Linux system.
Plug in a USB key, start up your computer and in just a handful of
seconds the
Mandriva Linux 2008 operating system is ready for work, listening to
music or
surfing the Net. Mandriva Flash 2008 is an entirely operational system
which
fits into a pocket.

Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna KDE Community Edition

The last time I investigated Linux Mint I decided that I "didn't get it" and I approached the latest release with that in mind. But it's actually come a long way and while it's not perfect, I now understand.

This release - Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna KDE Community Edition - is quite an ambitious stab at something new and that's not what I was expecting at all.
