People who are new to Linux may be at a loss when they forget their root password. I want to find my root password, but I don't know how. In fact, it only takes a few simple steps to reset your root password (I can't get my password back either)

1. Click e on the kernel after power on, and then edit the options

two。 In the linux16 line, change the content in the red box to rw rd.break

According to the prompt, use the key combination CTRL+X to change the password

3. Enter the emergency rescue mode of the system

4. Enter the following commands in turn

# chroot / sysroot / / enter the root directory of the system # passwd / / reset password # touch / .autorelabel / / create a file so that the system can recognize and modify # exit to exit chroot mode # reboot / / restart the system when rebooting

5. Restart is a bit slow. You need to wait patiently for a while. After restarting, you can log in using the password you just reset.

6. Modify the password

Don't forget your password, change it:

After # passwd / /, you will be prompted for a new password and then modified successfully!

Change the password of a general user as root:

# passwd username (username to change the password)
