<0> I have a problem
<0> kinda major
<0> i forgot my root pw, and I cant reboot do to the server im running
<0> is there a way to change my root pw locally?
<0> im in front of the server now
<0> i dont want to exploit it, because i worry about future hacks
<0> is there a legit way to do it?
<1> sudo p***wd
<0> as reg user?
<1> ubuntu doesnt set a root p***word
<1> did u set one>
<0> yes
<1> and u forgot it?
<0> i set the same pw for the user too
<0> yea
<0> im fcked huh?
<1> how did u forget it
<1> i think there is a way round it
<1> u need to boot into terminal
<0> i was drunk and it was time to change the root pw for the month
<0> im in a terminal now
<0> u mean from cd?
<1> no
<0> ok
<2> get drunk again and think of a p***word, getting in the same state of mind might help you remember what you chose ;)
<0> im in terminal
<0> jason@ubuntu-linux:~$ sudo p***wd
<0> P***word:
<0> Sorry, try again.
<0> P***word:
<0> heh
<1> boot into recovery mode, you'll be root - type p***wd and enter a p***word you can remember ...
<1> and bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt
<2> pick a hard one, like "p***word" ;)
<1> or "test123"
<0> heh
<0> thnks
<2> i read a study the other day that said like 10% of all peoples p***words were "abc123" and a couple percent were "123abc"
<1> lol
<1> i should be pretty safe, my root p***wd is "def456"
<2> I was going to say that was my p***word..
<2> you would be surprised how many people write their p***word down on a sticky note and have it somewhere on their desk, or under their keyboard...
<1> or as a .txt document on the desktop
<1> o_O
<2> I have been tempted to come on some weekend and see how many peoples PC's I can get into just be looking in their cubes for their p***word...
<1> lol
<2> everyone bitched when I started and forced them to have 8 character p***words with 3 of the 4 character types and to change them every 90 days
<3> what's the OEM mode install for?
<1> heh
<4> hi, i have a usb hardrive 80 gig, i created a fat32 partition on it using windows fdisk. I didnt format the harddrive and from ubuntu i issued command >: sudo mkfs /dev/sda
<4> what should be the result of my action?
<1> create partition >> mount partition ?
<4> created partition, didnt mount it
<1> why not?
<4> what does mkfs do on an unformated fat32 partiton
<4> unmounted as well
