I'm sorry, I know this has been discussed, I think I even read the solution
but forgot.  I installed DES on my computer, and now can't log in under
any account.  How do I boot up and mount my root directory as root without
a password.  Can this be done from the BOOT prompt, or do I need a boot
diskette, because I don't have the latter.

Thanks
John
