Yesterday when I tried to log in as root on my linux box and it rejected my password. I also tried to log in using a normal user account and that didn't work either. I tried both accounts mulitiple times. Strange thing is, I know that both passwords were correct. The box isn't networked so I don't think I was hacked. I have tried many ways to get in but to no avail. Single user mode requires the root password. I've also downloaded mu-linux which is a mini-distro of linux that fits on a 1.44Mb floppy (which is very cool by the way) and tried to mount my root partition which didn't work either. I used the following command with no luck: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt Error message said that it couldn't find a valid ext2 partition on that device and something about a bad superblock. I tried to mount all my partitions this way, thinking that maybe it was on a different device but that didn't work either. I'm kinda stuck right now, any suggestions would be appreciated --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
