I had a server which I haven't used in about a year, with data on it that 
I'd like to access.  Unforunately I forgot the root password.  I've tried 
the "boot -s" option but once it finishes booting it displays "enter root 
password or ^D for multiuser access". (Not bypassing the root password...  I 
have physical access to the machine. How can I reset or recover the 
password?
