Hi all

I have lost the neuron where I stored the root password of an installation ;D

I have seen a "How to" about this but I have a problem, i set the console
to insecure, so when I try to do the step of the "how to" i get a message
to input the root password or Ctrl-D to enter in multiuser mode.

Is there a way to restore/modify it, or not?

Some ideas?


Thanks in advance
