Hi,Apparently I can't find back the original question, but if the problem is in the lost root password as the subj suggests, there is a nice trick: set Boot OS parameters (XenCenter, VM Properties, Startup Options) to 'init=/bin/sh' and reboot -- you will get root prompt on your console. You'll have to remount your root file system in rw mode (mount -o remount,rw /) before you can make any changes on the file system. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Alex www.gremwell.com
