Changing Smoothwall's root password

[The_Unbeliever]

changing smoothwall's root password the easy way :

reboot
at splash screen press tab
type in smoothwall single and enter
change root password

doing it with knoppix : (hard way)
start knoppix
start console

su
mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4
chroot /mnt/hda4 /bin/bash
passwd root

and you're done

(note - if you're unsure as to which partition to mount, look for the partition with the /bin directory in, and mount that).

Hope this helps - for some reason I could not boot into single-user mode on my smoothy.


note that v3 have an issue with booting into single-user mode, a fix for that is being tested at the moment.
